There\u2019s a partial lunar eclipse taking place this month in the early hours of 18 September, when a portion of the Moon\u2019s surface will be covered by Earth\u2019s shadow.<\/p>

The full Moon that will be partially eclipsed on 18 September will be the Harvest Moon<\/a> for 2024.<\/p>

This is because it occurs nearest to the Northern Hemisphere\u2019s autumn equinox<\/a> (the equinox itself occurs on 22 September).<\/p>

The best time to see the lunar eclipse<\/a> will be 18 September, 01:41\u201305:47 BST (00:41\u201304:47 UT).<\/p>
