News summary

On Tuesday night, skywatchers around the world witnessed a rare celestial trifecta: a supermoon, a partial lunar eclipse, and the Harvest Moon. A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. The partial lunar eclipse, where the Earth's shadow covers a portion of the moon, reached its peak visibility at different local times across the globe, including 10:44 p.m. EST in the U.S. and 8:14 a.m. IST in India. Despite cloudy weather in some regions like Chicago and Philadelphia, many observers enjoyed clear skies for this unique event. A livestream was available for those unable to view it directly. This phenomenon won't be visible again from India until 2025.
