On the night of Wednesday, September 17th to the morning of the 18th, 2024 the sky will see a partial lunar eclipse, which is also a supermoon. This will be the 2nd of 2 lunar eclipses that occur in calendar year 2024, and the final partial lunar eclipse of Lunar Saros 118.

This eclipse will take place 9 hours before perigee, which means that the September full moon will be a supermoon. It will be at a distance of 357486 km away from Earth and have a diameter of 33.4′.

Some parts of the Pacific Northwest such as Seattle and Portland will see the Penumbral and partial eclipse beginning when the moon is below the horizon. Other parts of the PNW, such as Boise will only see the moonrise above the horizon as the start of the eclipse. However, this will not change that the entire PNW will see the remainder of the eclipse, nor will it affect how much of the moon will be covered by totality will be visible.
