After the August meteor shower, a new astronomical phenomenon will be visible 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 will reach its maximum at 4:45 AM, to end at 5:16 AM. During the eclipse, approximately 8% of the lunar surface will be covered by the Earth’s shadow, which, added to the fact that the phenomenon coincides with the full moon, will create a subtle but fascinating celestial spectacle.
The event will be observable with the naked eye, but, obviously, the use of binoculars or telescopes can enhance 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 enhance the experience by allowing you to observe more details of the phenomenon[.
But beware, because rain and bad weather can literally fog up the eclipse. Along with the Mercè a change of weather is approaching, accompanied by rain that may hinder or directly cloud the sky and the visibility of the eclipse. If you really can not see it will have to wait until the next partial lunar eclipse, which is scheduled for March 14, 2025.
