Full Moon Super Moon September 2024

Lunar Eclipse and How to Watch

On September 29, 2024, the moon will reach its closest point to Earth in its orbit, creating a supermoon. This supermoon will also be a full moon, meaning that the entire face of the moon will be illuminated by the sun. The combination of these two factors will create a particularly large and bright moon in the sky. In addition, the moon will pass through the Earth's shadow during this time, creating a total lunar eclipse. This means that the moon will be completely covered by the Earth's shadow, and it will appear to turn a reddish color.

When and Where to Watch the Supermoon

The total lunar eclipse will be visible from North and South America, Europe, and Africa. The eclipse will begin at 9:02 p.m. EDT and will reach its peak at 10:47 p.m. EDT. The eclipse will end at 12:54 a.m. EDT on September 30, 2024.

To watch the eclipse, find a location with a clear view of the eastern horizon. The moon will rise in the east, and the eclipse will be visible as the moon moves across the sky. You do not need any special equipment to watch the eclipse, but binoculars or a telescope can enhance your view.

Other Supermoons and Lunar Eclipses

The supermoon of September 29, 2024, is one of four supermoons that will occur in 2024. The other supermoons will occur on July 3, August 1, and December 26. There will also be two other lunar eclipses in 2024, a partial lunar eclipse on March 14 and a penumbral lunar eclipse on October 28.
