Partial Lunar Eclipse
On 09/17/2024 10:50 pm by Janet Yoder| Carmel, Indiana, USA
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, or umbra. During this event, part of the Moon will appear darkened while the remainder remains illuminated by sunlight.
Partial lunar eclipses can occur a few times a year and observers often find it a fascinating event to witness, especially when combined with other celestial phenomena, such as a supermoon.
This partial lunar eclipse also coincides with the Harvest Moon, which happens to be an exceptionally bright, large supermoon and is visually striking!
