The Harvest supermoon, occurring on Tuesday night, coincides with a partial lunar eclipse, making it a unique visual spectacle for sky watchers.
Supermoons appear larger and brighter due to their proximity to Earth, with this month's full moon being about 222,000 miles away from Earth.
The Harvest supermoon has been traditionally significant for farmers, who historically relied on the moonlight to extend their evening work during the harvest season.
Unlike solar eclipses, no special glasses are needed to view a lunar eclipse, allowing everyone to enjoy this astronomical event safely.
