Science: Three events will occur simultaneously in the night sky – Harvest Moon, Supermoon and Partial Lunar Eclipse.
Full Moon: The moon is fully illuminated by the sun and reaches its peak at 10:35 a.m. Eastern Time (02:35 GMT on September 18).
Supermoon: The moon appears larger and brighter because it is closer to Earth than usual.
Partial Lunar Eclipse: Some portion of the moon (about 8%) will be covered by Earth’s shadow, which will peak at 10:44 a.m. ET (02:44 GMT).
The Harvest Moon, closest to the start of autumn (September 22), appears orange-red due to Earth’s atmosphere. To see it clearly, try to be in a dark place and use binoculars.This solar eclipse will be visible at different times in America, Europe and Africa.
