Full Harvest Moon/Partial Lunar Eclipse Tonight

 





September's Full Harvest Moon will be part of a spectacular celestial event!

In addition to being a Super Moon, there will also be a partial lunar eclipse tonight!

According to Space.com the Moon will start entering Earth's partial shadow 
starting at 8:41 PM EDT.    The eclipse will turn the moon a murky red-
brown color when the Earth's shadow descends upon the lunar surface.

  The eclipse will reach its peak about 10:44 PM  and will begin to exit the Earth's
shadow at 11:16 PM and the partial shadow at 12:27 AM Wednesday morning.

Although the partial lunar eclipse will be visible from almost all of  North
 America, 
the skies are mainly overcast here in my neck of the woods so
 I am not 
sure we will be able to see the moon tonight. But, I hope the skies
 will be clear where you are at my fellow sky watchers!🌝
