A partial lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, September 18, 2024,[1] with an umbral magnitude of 0.0869. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when one part of the Moon is in the Earth's umbra, while the other part is in the Earth's penumbra. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. Occurring only about 7 hours before perigee (on September 18, 2024, at 09:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger. This eclipse also occurred during a supermoon.[2]
This eclipse was the final partial lunar eclipse of Lunar Saros 118.
