Tuesday night's Supermoon is one of the last of the year, and this one is even rarer, as it coincides with a partial lunar eclipse.
Skywatchers across the U.S. will be treated to a multifaceted celestial event on Tuesday evening when a partial lunar eclipse and a full Supermoon are visible in the night sky.The Moon will not only appear brighter but also larger as it approaches perigee, the closest point to Earth.At its closest approach in October, the Moon will be more than 222,000 miles from the planet.
Late September and October are typically busy months for farmers as they harvest crops before the arrival of cold weather.Due to the increased gravitational pull from Earth’s only natural satellite, higher-than-normal water levels, known as King Tides, will be experienced along coastal communities.SUGGESTED: Solar eclipse 2024: Photos, videos from across the USTide levels can vary significantly based on the terrain but are generally one to three feet higher than an average high tide.
