After the meteor shower in August, a new astronomical phenomenon can be seen from Barcelona. It will be the early morning of Wednesday, September 18, 2024, when Barcelona will witness a partial lunar eclipse.
This phenomenon will begin at 4:14 AM and peak at 4:45 AM, ending at 5:16 AM. During the eclipse, approximately 8% of the lunar surface will be covered by the Earth’s shadow, which, combined with the fact that the phenomenon coincides with a full moon, will create a subtle but fascinating celestial spectacle.
The event will be visible to the naked eye, However, the use of binoculars or telescopes can obviously improve the experience by allowing you to observe more details of the phenomenon. In addition, we recommend that you look for a place with little light pollution and a clear horizon. Although the event is visible to the naked eye, the use of binoculars or telescopes can improve the experience by allowing you to observe more details of the phenomenon[[
But be careful, because rain and bad weather can literally tarnish the eclipse. Along with La Mercè, a change in weather is approaching, accompanied by rain, which may make the sky and visibility of the eclipse difficult or even cloudy. If you really cannot see it, you will have to wait until the next partial lunar eclipse, which is scheduled for March 14, 2025.
