Boston, MA – A partial lunar eclipse, coupled with a supermoon, will grace the skies tonight starting at 8:41 p.m. However, cloudy conditions could hinder the viewing experience for many in the Boston area. Those planning to witness this astronomical event should keep an eye on the skies, as intermittent clouds are expected, potentially obscuring the moon.
According to the National Weather Service, Boston is forecast to reach a high of 81°F today with partly cloudy skies. Overnight, temperatures will drop to the mid-50s, and cloud cover could interfere with eclipse visibility as the night progresses. The eclipse will peak just after midnight, ending at 12:47 a.m. Wednesday. To catch the clearest view, residents are advised to find open areas with minimal light pollution and check weather updates frequently.
For those who miss the celestial event, the forecast for the rest of the week includes partly sunny skies on Wednesday with a high of 77°F. Cooler temperatures and rain are expected Thursday and Friday, making tonight the best opportunity to enjoy a rare astronomical spectacle.
