Lunar eclipse: Where and how to see the ‘supermoon’ light up Tuesday night sky

The dark night sky will be lit up by a remarkable and rare partial lunar eclipse on Tuesday evening.
Known as the Harvest Moon, this September supermoon will kick off the second of the two annual eclipse seasons.
The first eclipse season took place this spring, where many Americans in the line of totality found themselves stunned by the beautiful rare astrological occurrence.
Eclipses happen in pairs, so expect a solar eclipse to follow shortly after.
The solar eclipse will occur on October 2 and happen in the cardinal air sign, Libra, completing the two-year-long Libra-Aries eclipse axis season after the historic solar eclipse in Aries in spring.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, which causes Earth’s shadow to fall on the moon.
As a result, the moon will appear darkened and reddish.
This month’s full moon will reach peak illumination around 10:35 p.m. EST, though the moon will appear full in the sky from Monday through Thursday evening, according to NASA.
The moon will begin to enter Earth’s partial shadow at 8:41 p.m. EST before entering the full shadow at 10:13 p.m., per NASA.
The moon will finish exiting the full shadow at 11:16 PM and the partial shadow on Wednesday morning at 12:47 AM.
The eclipse will be visible from most all points across the Western Hemisphere including the US, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Europe.
Astronomers encourage people to look at the rare miracle, though astrologers usually advise against it for superstitious reasons.
The full moon in September is also considered a supermoon because the luminary is closest to Earth, which makes it appear big and bright in the sky.
This month is the second of four consecutive supermoons this year.
Due to the supermoon phenomenon, it also got dubbed the Harvest Moon because of how the moon rises quickly and shines its bright moonlight shortly after sunset.
The autumnal equinox affair, similar to the corn moon in September, is a sign to farmers to gather crops, per NASA.

Astrologically, the moon will land in Pisces opposite the sun in Virgo.
Pisces is a mutable water sign that rules the last 12th house of the zodiac.
It is associated with dreaminess and delusion apropo Pisces’ secondary ruler Neptune, which will be conjunct, meaning together, with the moon.
“Mutable means transition of seasons, from winter to spring [for Pisces], all the mutable signs represent change, transition and adaptability,” explains astrologer Maren Altman.
“With it being a water sign, it shows the adaptability of emotions and going between states of feeling and being.”
As per how the astrological event may show up emotionally and spiritually, she says: “A full moon in Pisces is already going to show an energy of giving up something emotional [that is] changing, fluctuating, in your life that you’re ready to part ways with.”
The moon will also be conjunct sober Saturn, square abundant Jupiter in Gemini and trine romantic Venus in Libra.
Venus in Libra will also square transformative Pluto in Aquarius, a significant 20-year-long transit that just occurred earlier this year.
