A partial lunar eclipse occurred during the Harvest Moon, coinciding with a supermoon, creating a spectacle that lit up the skies in Fresno.
Supermoons occur when the moon is at its closest approach to Earth, making them appear 30% brighter and 14% larger than regular full moons.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which in 2024 will be on September 22, marking the start of fall.
This astronomical event was witnessed worldwide, with stunning visuals shared, including a notable video captured in Fresno by @officiallrahrah.
