partial lunar eclipse will occur on September 17, during the Harvest Full Moon. This event will offer a glimpse into the start of eclipse season and precede the annular solar eclipse on October 2.
Harvest Full Moon
The full moon on September 17 is called the Harvest Moon. This name is given to the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. Although it usually occurs in September, some years see it in October. Historically, farmers depended on the light of the Harvest Moon to extend their working hours before modern technology provided artificial light.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
This full moon will experience a partial lunar eclipse, which serves as an introduction to the annular solar eclipse on October 2. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s shadow partially or fully covers the moon. This event will be the last full moon before the solar eclipse, marking the beginning of the eclipse season.
At its peak (2:44 UTC, September 18), only 8.7% of the moon's diameter will be covered by Earth's shadow. Viewers with binoculars or telescopes may observe the shadow grazing the northern edge of the moon’s crater Plato. The faint penumbra will become visible when about 70% of the moon enters it, but this shading may not be noticeable to the naked eye.
