Catch a partial lunar eclipse during September's supermoon.

The spectacle will be visible in clear skies across North America and South America Tuesday night and in Africa and Europe Wednesday morning.

A partial lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the sun and moon, casting a shadow that darkens a sliver of the moon and appears to take a bite out of it.

Since the moon will inch closer to Earth than usual, it'll appear a bit larger in the sky. The supermoon is one of three remaining this year.

"A little bit of the sun's light is being blocked, so the moon will be slightly dimmer," said Valerie Rapson, an astronomer at the State University of New York at Oneonta.

1. Hoping predicted rain in AZ will have come and gone by then

Looks like we might get the customary Monsoon Finale Extravaganza this weekend. Of course, there have been years when it does an encore, so... fingers crossed.
