Fingers crossed that Tláloc will be away for a little while and give us a chance to see the September supermoon, as well as the partial eclipse of the Moon. It will be visible to the naked eye! As long as it’s not cloudy, of course.
This 📅Tuesday, September 17 you should pay close attention to the sky, because we will see a partial eclipse of the Moon. According to information from the Luis Enrique Erro Planetarium of the National Polytechnic Institute, the eclipse will reach its maximum point at 🕛20:44 pm.
It will be a partial eclipse, so the Moon will not be totally hidden.
All about the September supermoon
Another phenomenon you can’t miss is the supermoon. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon is in perigee, that is, at its closest point to the Earth. The National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INEOE) detailed that from the early hours of September 18 we will see the full Moon.
It is worth mentioning that, when the supermoon occurs we can see our natural satellite brighter and bigger than usual. The best thing is that both astronomical events will be seen with the naked eye. The bad news is that it has been raining a lot these days, so fingers crossed that we will have clear skies this Tuesday, September 17.
And while we are talking about astronomical events, let us tell you that in December the Geminids star shower will arrive, which will allow us to see up to 120 meteors per hour crossing the sky.
