What time does the lunar eclipse start tonight in Georgia? | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Tonight offers a rare celestial event featuring a partial lunar eclipse coinciding with the full Harvest Moon, which is also a super moon, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. Around 10:44 PM, Earth’s shadow will cast a reddish hue on the moon. The Harvest Moon is named for its brightness, which historically allowed farmers to work late during harvest season. This extraordinary event won’t be repeated until 2025, prompting experts to encourage sky gazers to head outside after dark for the best view of the super moon and eclipse, especially after midnight. Cloudy skies may hinder visibility.
Atlanta, we’re in for a rare treat. Not only will there be a supermoon, when the moon appears larger and bright than usual, but there will also be a partial lunar eclipse. Here’s when you should go outside for the best view.
