Supermoon Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

September’s supermoon full moon will be accompanied by a partial lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse Tuesday September 17, 2024, starts at 7:41 pm Central time, but the full effect will not be completely noticeable until 9:13 pm Central, according to NASA, with the peak of the eclipse at 9:44 pm. Astronomers say “supermoon” is a term referring to the Moon being both full and closest or near-closest to the Earth in its orbit. NASA says the Moon will actually look full for about three days, starting with last night Monday September 16. NASA also says the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox is sometimes referred to as the Harvest Moon. Fall arrives Sunday morning September 22, 2024.
