During the event—which was preceded by a beautiful full moonrise—the full “harvest moon” entered Earth's shadow in space, which it rarely does. As it did, it lost its brightness over the 91 minutes it took to be fully engulfed. It then began to have a bite taken out of it by Earth's darker central shadow—its umbra—a vast curved line appearing to sculpt part of the moon's limb.
A partial lunar eclipse on Sept. 18, 2024, though a Seestar telescope. Over 62 minutes, that bite grew until about 8% of the lunar surface was in deep shadow.
The event then reversed, with the dark shape gradually receding before the full moon slipped out of Earth's shadow to regain its regular full moon-like glare. Two weeks after last night's partial lunar eclipse, on October 2, an annular solar eclipse will be seen from a narrow path through the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean via Easter Island, southern Chile and southern Argentina. Lasting up to seven minutes 25 seconds, it's a direct result of last night's alignment for the lunar eclipse.

Eclipses also come in pairs, sometimes threes, because a new moon that passes through Earth's shadow will also pass in front of the sun two weeks later, or vice versa.
That's because it intersects the solar system's plane—the ecliptic—the sun's path through the sky. 18 September 2024, Rhineland-Palatinate, Kandel: The full moon is partially in the shadow of the ..

The harvest moon is very close to the earth and is therefore also called the supermoon. Photo: Axel Seidemann/dpa (Photo by Axel Seidemann/picture alliance via Getty Images) October 2's solar eclipse will be annular—ring-shaped—because the new moon will be farther from Earth than on average. That's a result of the moon's orbit around the Earth being slightly elliptical.
For the same reason that last night's full "Harvest Moon" was a supermoon—because it was closer than it is on average, so larger in the sky— the next new moon will look smaller and unable to cover 100% of the sun's disk.

states see at sunrise. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes..
