On the evening of Sept. 17, stargazers can watch a partial eclipse of the month's Harvest supermoon - an eye-popping conjunction of two equally dazzling spectacles that will turn the oversized moon a reddish hue.
This month's supermoon, known as the full harvest moon, also coincides with a partial lunar eclipse, when Earth's shadow hides a portion of our neighboring space rock.
Even though it's a small eclipse, it's still worth watching. The lunar eclipse will help sky-watchers find craters and other moon-surface features via telescopes and binoculars.
According to NASA, the eclipse will begin at 10:13 p.m. EDT on Sept. 17, and will reach its peak at 10:44 p.m. The moon will then exit Earth's full shadow at 11:16 p.m.
