The Next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse; a SuperMoon and for once it looks like we will have clear skiers to see it!
On the evening of Tuesday, 17th September, sky-watchers in Wales will be treated to a rare cosmic show—a partial lunar eclipse of the Super Harvest Moon. This unique event combines the beauty of a full Super Moon, appearing larger and brighter than usual, with the subtle shadow of a partial eclipse.
For those hoping to catch a glimpse in Wales, the moon will rise shortly after sunset, around 7:07 PM, but the real highlight will happen later in the night. The partial lunar eclipse will be best seen in the early hours of Wednesday, 18th September, with peak visibility at around 3:12 AM. For the best view, find a clear spot with minimal light pollution and look up as the Earth’s shadow partially covers the moon.
The Super Harvest Moon is a special full moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox, traditionally marking the end of summer and the beginning of harvest season. This partial eclipse adds a touch of mystery to the already stunning sight, making it an event not to be missed.
