Get ready for a spectacular celestial event in Boston. On the evening of September 17, 2024, a partial lunar eclipse will coincide with the Full Harvest Supermoon, creating an unforgettable night for skywatchers.


What to Expect:


Starting at 8:41 PM EDT, the Moon will begin its journey through Earth's shadow, leading to the partial eclipse, which will be visible starting at 9:12 PM. The eclipse reaches its peak at 9:44 PM, when 8.7% of the Moon will be obscured by Earth's shadow, giving it a darkened "bite" appearance. The eclipse will conclude around 10:15 PM.


Adding to the beauty of the night, this Full Moon is also a Supermoon! Known as the Harvest Supermoon, it will appear larger and brighter than usual, as it will be at one of its closest points to Earth in its orbit. Look for the bright planet Saturn, which will be visible near the Moon, enhancing the show.

Best Viewing Tips:

Mark your calendars for this rare event—it's a night of cosmic wonders you won't want to miss.


Timing: 8:41 PM – 11:47 PM EDT
