The evening of Tuesday, September 17, 2024, saw a beautiful partial lunar eclipse as the full 'Harvest Supermoon' drifted through the edge of Earth's shadow in space.
18 September 2024, Brandenburg, Biegen: The peak of the partial lunar eclipse can be seen at around4:45 in the early morning. Between 4:13 and 5:16 a.m., the moon's disk was darkened at the top right. Only 9.1 percent of the moon was covered during this partial lunar eclipse .

During the event—which was preceded by a beautiful full moonrise—the full “harvest moon” entered Earth's shadow in space, which it rarely does. As it did, it lost its brightness over the 91 minutes it took to be fully engulfed. It then began to have a bite taken out of it by Earth's darker central shadow—its umbra—a vast curved line appearing to sculpt part of the moon's limb.Over 62 minutes, that bite grew until about 8% of the lunar surface was in deep shadow.
Two weeks after last night's partial lunar eclipse, on October 2, an annular solar eclipse will be seen from a narrow path through the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean via Easter Island, southern Chile and southern Argentina. Lasting up to seven minutes 25 seconds, it's a direct result of last night's alignment for the lunar eclipse.
