Harvest Moon in TN: What you need to know
SUMMARY: Tonight features an extra rare Harvest Moon, which is also a super moon, appearing about 14% larger than usual and 30% larger than the smallest moon. Adding to its uniqueness, the moon will undergo a partial lunar eclipse starting at 7:41 PM, peaking at 9:44 PM, where about 8% of the moon will appear red as it moves through Earth’s penumbra. Weather conditions may affect visibility, with clouds currently over eastern Tennessee and clearer skies expected in the west. As the eclipse continues, the cloud cover is predicted to decrease, providing a better view later in the night.
