Stargazers will be treated to a rare convergence of celestial events this Tuesday night, featuring a harvest supermoon, a blood moon, and a partial lunar eclipse.
Teresa Monsue of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center notes that the harvest supermoon occurs close to the start of fall, with supermoons generally occurring three to four times a year.
The lunar eclipse will peak at 10:44 p.m. ET, providing all of North and South America an opportunity to view this celestial phenomenon, depending on weather conditions.
Unlike solar eclipses, which require protective eyewear to view, lunar eclipses can be safely observed directly without the need for special glasses.
