Get Ready for the Lunar Eclipse Happening Soon!
Excited about the lunar eclipse on Tuesday, Sept. 17? While it may not be as spectacular as some expect, it’s still worth checking out!
During this event, the moon won’t turn red because it’s only a partial eclipse. But the good news is that it will still be big and bright in the night sky, especially because it will also be a supermoon.
Here are some key times to keep in mind:

-
NEXT TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: Be prepared for a total lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025, at 1:58 a.m.
