Ridgewood NJ, the official full moon will take place on the evening of Tuesday, September 17, and the morning of Wednesday, September 18. However, skywatchers will be able to catch a nearly full moon between September 16 and 20. While it may not be at its peak brightness after September 17, it will still be an impressive sight.
The moon will rise around 7:50 p.m. ET on the East Coast and at about 7:10 p.m. PT on the West Coast, so make sure to step outside and take a look at this stunning celestial display.
What About the Lunar Eclipse?
A partial lunar eclipse will also take place on the evening of September 17. Although it won’t be a dramatic eclipse, with only a small portion of the moon disappearing for a brief period, it will still impact the moon’s appearance.
- East Coast: The eclipse will start around 8:41 p.m., reach its peak at 10:44 p.m., and end by 12:47 a.m.
- West Coast: The eclipse begins at 7:12 p.m., peaks at 7:44 p.m., and wraps up by 9:47 p.m.
If you’re in the U.S., you should be able to catch at least part of the eclipse no matter where you are.
How Rare Is a Super Harvest Blood Moon?
While none of the elements—supermoon, Harvest Moon, or blood moon—are particularly rare on their own, having all three occur together is an uncommon event. The next time this celestial trio will align is in September 2033, with another chance in 2042.
So, mark your calendars, head outside, and enjoy this rare astronomical phenomenon. It’s not just a chance to see the moon in all its glory, but also a reminder of how awe-inspiring the cosmos can be.
