There will be a partial eclipse on Tuesday night, Sept. 17 at the same time of a full moon and Supermoon.

It will be visible in most of North America, all of South America, Europe along with all but some parts of eastern Africa, and portions of Asia, Antarctica, and Russia.

There will be a full moon from Monday night, Sept. 16 through Wednesday night, Sept. 18.

A Supermoon occurs around the time the moon is at the closest point in its orbit around Earth during a full moon.

But will the weather cooperate?

Clouds are expected to increase Tuesday night with showers possible starting in the early morning hours overnight on Wednesday.

In partial eclipses, the three planetary bodies—the Earth, sun, and moon—are not perfectly aligned.
