When can the partial lunar eclipse of the Harvest Moon be seen on Tuesday?

Skywatchers across the U.S. will be treated to a multifaceted celestial event Tuesday evening when a partial lunar eclipse and a super full moon will be visible in the night sky.

The moon not only appears brighter but also larger as it approaches perigee, the point closest to Earth.

At its closest approach in October, the moon will be more than 357,000 kilometers from the planet.

As the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, a temporary shadow will be cast on our natural satellite, but the event is unlikely to be as breathtaking as the total solar eclipse that millions of people experienced earlier this year.

According to NASA, the shadow will be visible starting at about 8:41 p.m. EDT and will reach its peak just over two hours later at 10:44 p.m. EDT.

The entire event is expected to be completed before 1 a.m. on September 18, with only eight percent of the moon completely in shadow at its highest phase.

The full moon is also called the harvest moon because it occurs shortly before the autumn equinox.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, it is sometimes called the Corn Moon because Native Americans used the extra light to harvest their crops at night.

Late September and October are typically busy months for farmers as they bring in their crops before the cold weather sets in.

Due to the stronger gravitational pull of Earth's only natural satellite, coastal communities will experience above-average water levels, known as spring tides.

Tide levels can vary considerably depending on the terrain, but are generally 30 to 90 cm higher than an average high tide.

These increased water levels often cause severe flooding in coastal communities, which can be exacerbated when they occur at the same time as the storm surge of a tropical cyclone.

Additional supermoons and floods will occur during the Hunter's Moon in October and the Beaver Moon in November.

Did you miss the total solar eclipse on April 8? Here's a list of future celestial events.

If you miss this sight, astronomers say the moon should remain just as bright through Thursday, but you'll miss the added effect of the eclipse.

Most of the country will be obscured by thick cloud cover, especially along the East Coast, the Plains and the Pacific Northwest, making visibility difficult.

The next lunar eclipse is not expected to occur until March 2025, when the entire moon will be covered by the Earth's shadow.
