Midwest – A stunning celestial event will occur on Sunday, September 17, when the full Harvest Moon graces the sky. This particular full moon is a supermoon, meaning it will be slightly closer to Earth and appear larger and brighter than usual. The event is even more exciting due to a partial lunar eclipse, visible across the Midwest.
According to experts, the eclipse will last about an hour, with a small shadow appearing as a “bite” on one side of the Moon. The best time to view this event in the Midwest is during moonrise, when the Moon will be low on the horizon, giving spectators a perfect view.
For those on the West Coast, the eclipse happens in the evening, offering excellent visibility. Midwesterners should check local skywatching websites or apps for precise timing. Don’t miss this rare combination of a supermoon and partial lunar eclipse, both of which bring an exciting start to the autumn season.
