So, depending on your location, you'll be able to see Earth's shadow sweep across a small part of the harvest moon when it rises Tuesday evening.<h2 id="b9f7bcc6-7b06-48e3-a8b1-8f8194454618">The best time to watch the super harvest moon and partial lunar eclipse</h2>The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/september-harvest-moon-last-supermoon-when-best-time-to-see-2023-9">harvest moon is the full moon</a> that occurs nearest to the first day of autumn. It typically rises in the early evening around sunset, which meant farmers could finish harvesting their fall crops by its bright moonlight, hence the name.This year, the harvest moon will officially be at its fullest on September 17 at 10:35 p.m. ET, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/the-next-full-moon-is-a-partial-lunar-eclipse-a-supermoon-the-corn-moon-and-the-harvest-moon/">NASA</a>.

No one knows why this illusion occurs, <a target="_blank" href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/moon/the-moon-illusion-why-does-the-moon-look-so-big-sometimes/">according to NASA</a>, but it makes for some spectacular moon gazing and photos.The moon will rise over the east horizon around 7 p.m. local time on Tuesday for most of the contiguous US, but check <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/">TimeandDate</a> for exactly when moonrise is in your area.

So, at the time of the eclipse's peak, you should be able to notice that a small sliver looks like it's missing from the top of the moon."The only impact the eclipse has on seeing the moon is that part of the moon will be dimmer than the part that is outside of the shadow of the Earth," Noah Petro, a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told BI over email.Tuesday's partial eclipse is the last lunar eclipse of the year. The next lunar eclipse will be a total eclipse on March 14, 2025.Just about everyone worldwide can enjoy the upcoming supermoon but only regions of North America, South America, Europe, and Africa will have a chance to see the lunar eclipse. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2024-september-18">TimeandDate</a> has a map showing which portions of the globe will get the best eclipse show.<h2 id="4678bbea-bf93-41a2-9445-1b83e47703af">The harvest moon is the second supermoon of 2024</h2><div type="image" title="red harvest moon rising over eastern horizon with a city in front of it" height="681" width="1024" msid="113372043" hostid="261" sizebytes="13854"></div>This year's harvest moon is the second in a series of four consecutive supermoons, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/what-is-a-supermoon/">EarthSky.</a>Supermoons occur when a full (or new) moon coincides with perigee — the point in the moon's orbit when it's closest to Earth.But that distance isn't always the same value because the moon's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular.

In particular, October's full moon — called the Hunter's moon — will be the largest supermoon of the year.

The 2024 harvest moon is the 2nd supermoon and last lunar eclipse this year. Here's the best time to see it when it rises Tuesday.

New Delhi [India], November 8 (ANI): Today is the day when the world will witness the last total <keyword id="90051" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lunar-eclipse" source="Orion">lunar eclipse</keyword> of this year. At full moon, when the moon is close to a node, total lunar eclipses take place because the earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching the moon. Almost a year after the last total lunar eclipse, the sight of the moon sliding into the shadows of the Earth returns and graces the sky. Viewers in North America, Central America, most of South America, the Pacific Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia will see the Moon darken and acquire a reddish in the wee hours of Tuesday, November 8. When and how to watch lunar eclipse The Moon traverses the northern half of Earth's shadow, with totality predicted to last 86 minutes. Mid-eclipse happens on November 8th at 10:59 Universal Time (UT), around six days before apogee, when the Moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit. As a result, during the eclipse, the Moon will appear 7 per cent smaller than it does when it's at perigee (closest to Earth), but the difference is imperceptible. The eclipse on Tuesday will be a bit brighter than the one that occurred in May -- especially in the Moon's northern half -- since the Moon doesn't glide as close to the dark center of Earth's shadow. There are several delightful extras viewers can look out for while admiring the eclipse. During totality, Earth's shadow dims the Moon sufficiently for stars to be visible right up to its edge. In addition, Uranus reaches opposition just a day after the eclipse, when it's directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and at its closest and brightest. And on eclipse night the distant planet will be upper left of the red-hued Moon -- binoculars will reveal the planet's pale disk. The farther west you are, the smaller the gap between planet and Moon. Also, the Northern and Southern Taurid meteor showers peak around this time, so eclipse-watchers might be treated to a few meteors streaking across the night sky. All stages of the eclipse occur simultaneously for everyone, but not everyone will see the full eclipse. Weather permitting, observers in western North America will witness the entirety of the event on the morning of November 8, with the partial eclipse phase beginning an hour or so after midnight. In Hawai'i, the totally eclipsed Moon will be directly overhead. Viewers in the central parts of the continent will see all of totality and most of the final partial phases, while those on the East Coast can watch the Sun rise as totality ends. South America will witness the initial phases of the eclipse up to totality, while Central America can enjoy the show a bit longer and see it through the total phase. The eclipse is an early evening event in central and eastern Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, and the Moon rises either during the earlier partial phases or during totality. The actual clock times of the eclipse depend on your time zone. Do's and Don'ts of Lunar Eclipse" Dos Until there is a lunar eclipse, tulsi leaves must be added to food products. Pray for the moon to be released from Rahu's control soon. Before and after the eclipse, take a holy bath to purify your body and spirit. Don'ts During a lunar eclipse, it is typically advised to stay inside and refrain from beginning any new projects or activities. Pregnant women are strictly forbidden from going outside during a lunar eclipse, cutting or sewing any fabric, carrying sharp tools like scissors or blades, or using knives, among other activities that could harm the unborn child. As per belief, people avoid consuming food. Avoid watching the eclipse with your naked eyes The events that happen during a total lunar eclipse are more complex and interesting than many people realize. The Moon's leading edge enters the pale outer fringe of Earth's shadow: the penumbra. You probably won't notice anything until the Moon is about halfway across the penumbra. 1. Watch for a slight darkening on the Moon's left side as seen from North America. The penumbral shading becomes stronger as the Moon moves deeper in. 2. The penumbra is the region where an astronaut standing on the Moon would see Earth covering only part of the Sun's face. 3. The Moon's leading edge enters the umbra, the cone of Earth's shadow within which the Sun's completely hidden. You should notice a dramatic darkening on the leading edge of the lunar disk. With a telescope, you can watch the edge of the umbra slowly engulfing one lunar feature after another, as the entire sky begins to grow darker. 4. The trailing edge of the Moon slips into the umbra for the beginning of total eclipse. But the Moon won't black out completely: It's sure to glow some shade of intense orange or red. 5. Why is this? The Earth's atmosphere scatters and bends (refracts) sunlight that skims its edges, diverting some of it onto the eclipsed Moon. If you were on the Moon during a lunar eclipse, you'd see the Sun hidden by a dark Earth rimmed with the reddish light of all the sunrises and sunsets ringing the world at that moment. 6. The red umbral glow can be quite different from one eclipse to the next. Two main factors affect its brightness and hue. The first is simply how deeply the Moon goes into the umbra as it passes through; the center of the umbra is darker than its edges. The other factor is the state of Earth's atmosphere. If a major volcanic eruption has recently polluted the stratosphere with thin global haze, a lunar eclipse can be dark red, ashen brown, or occasionally almost black. 7. In addition, blue light is refracted through Earth's clear, ozone-rich upper atmosphere above the thicker layers that produce the red sunrise-sunset colors. This ozone-blue light tints the Moon also, especially near the umbra's edge. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see this effect. 8. As the Moon progresses along its orbit, events replay in reverse order. The Moon's edge re-emerges into the sunlight, ending totality and beginning a partial eclipse again. 9. When all of the Moon escapes the umbra, only the last, penumbral shading is left. Sometime later, nothing unusual remains. The event has five stages, each with different things to watch.(ANI)

It's rare for one to occur in any single place, though, because of the complex movements of the Earth and moon.The moon orbits Earth every 29.5 days, while Earth has its own orbit around the sun. The moon's orbit is tilted about five degrees, which is large enough to keep its shadow off the Earth and the Earth's shadow off the moon most of the time.<div type="image" title="the fuzzy circular shadow of the moon appears on white clouds that cover the curvature of earth as seen from space" height="1500" width="2254" msid="109110716" hostid="261" sizebytes="156392"></div>There are two points — called nodes — where the moon's orbit crosses the Earth's plane.

This diagram shows what happens during a total solar eclipse

On the evening of November 8, as the <keyword id="6359982" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="earth" source="Orion">Earth</keyword>'s shadow envelopes its sole satellite for nearly one-and-half hours, the world will witness a thrilling and chilling spectacle of a '<keyword id="2198098" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="blood-moon" source="Orion">Blood Moon</keyword>' <keyword id="90051" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="lunar-eclipse" source="Orion">lunar eclipse</keyword>, a prominent astronomer said here on Monday. Coming exactly 14 days (two Tuesdays) after the October 25 partial solar eclipse -- the lunar eclipse will be seen in totality in the northeastern states, but shall be only partially visible in the rest of <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> in the evening as the <keyword id="24879" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sun" source="Orion">sun</keyword> sets, said Prof. Bharat Adur, Director, Akash Ganga Centre for Astronomy (AGCA) here. "Tomorrow, the Earth's looming shadow will cover the <keyword id="42440" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="moon" source="Orion">Moon</keyword> and during this period it will appear a dark reddish colour, almost like a large drop of blood balanced in the sky... This phenomenon is called a 'Blood Moon' and it's an exciting spectacle," said Prof. Adur. He urged the people to view it wherever possible, as this will be the last total lunar eclipse, and the next one (total lunar eclipse) due only after three years on September 7, 2025. The Earth will come between the Sun and Moon and the blue planet's monstrous shadow -- from a staggering distance of 3.93 lakh kms -- will shroud its small natural satellite, partially or fully, depending on the angle of alignment from where it is viewed, Prof. Adur explained. The Sun is around 109 times bigger than Earth and over 148-million kms away, while the Earth is nearly four times larger than the Moon, with an average distance of 3,85 lakh kms separating them. "In a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is entirely blanketed by the Earth's darkest shadow, called the 'umbra', and at this time, the Moon appears a dark-reddish colour, or what is called the 'Blood Moon' phenomenon," Prof. Adur said. In scientific terms, it's called the 'Rayleigh Scattering' as during a lunar eclipse the only sunlight that reaches the Moon passes through the Earth's atmosphere, thus turning the Moon an apparent reddish colour. This is the second celestial event since the last partial Solar Eclipse (October 25), and can be witnessed by people in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, parts of Asia, Russia, North and South Americas, Australia, North Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean regions. Despite the scary myths or deep religious aspects associated with any eclipse (solar/lunar), Prof. Adur assured that there is absolutely no harm in viewing the unusual 'Blood Moon' on Tuesday with naked eyes or with binoculars which will enhance the reddish colour. The northeastern parts of India like Kohima, Agartala, Guwahati and other regions in the world will witness it in totality on Tuesday, the final eclipse of 2022. As the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse hours, most other parts of India will miss the exciting starting phases of both the partial and total eclipse, he said. Kolkata, New Delhi, Chennai along with Mumbai, can witness only the partial phase, and in the country's commercial capital barely 14 per cent of the Moon's obscuration can be viewed at 18.03 hours in the setting sun. However, the Moon will be seen 60 per cent covered in Nagpur, 66 per cent in Srinagar and in varying degrees in other cities, said Prof. Adur. In case people miss the 'Blood Moon' on Tuesday, they can wait for October 28, 2023, when there will be another partial lunar eclipse that will be visible in some parts of the country, Prof. Adur smiled.

World to witness 'Blood Moon' spectacle in the sky on November 8

Lunar eclipse is one of the most spectacular significant and interesting astronomical events. On July 16, 2019, there will be a partial lunar eclipse in the sky visible from countries including South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. As per the information provided by NASA, this partial lunar eclipse will be clearly visible in India also provided the location of viewing enjoys a clear sky. Notably, the world saw a total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on May 26, 2021. The other lunar eclipses that the world will see penumbral in nature and not partial or total. Facts about a partial lunar eclipse Eclipses happen when the sun, moon and the earth come in a straight line. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the earth and the sun leaving a shadow. A lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon leaving a shadow on the moon. A lunar eclipse happens only on a full moon day and a solar eclipse happens only on a new moon day. A total lunar eclipse can happen only when the sun, moon and earth come in a perfectly straight line. Hence this is a rare event in astronomy when compared to other kinds of eclipses. If the alignment of these three cosmic bodies is not that perfect, only a partial lunar eclipse will result. July 16, 2019 will see one such partial lunar eclipse only. When a partial lunar eclipse occurs, the shadow of the earth will appear very dark on the side of the moon that is facing the earth. Only a part of the earth’s shadow will be cast on the moon during such a happening and so, the moon will not have a blood red color during a partial lunar eclipse. Timings of the lunar eclipse on July 16, 2019 The NASA’s website says the total duration of the partial lunar eclipse on July 16, 2019, will be 2 hours 58 minutes. The eclipse will start at 01:31 am on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, in India. The maximum eclipse can be seen in India at about 3:00 am. Around this time, the moon will look the darkest. The end of the eclipse will be at about 4:29 am. The maximum eclipse timing Around 03:01 am on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, the earth’s shadow will cover about 65 percent of the moon’s diameter. Since only a part of the moon will pass through the shadow of the earth, this eclipse will be a partial one. As per the scientists, lunar eclipses are very safe to watch. While severe damage to the eyes can happen when a solar eclipse is watched with a naked eye, none need to fear any health hazards while watching the lunar eclipse. People living in the countries from where this lunar eclipse will be seen are gearing up to enjoy this spectacular scene. Come out of the doors and enjoy this astronomical event that has triggered human imaginations for centuries from now.
