Partial lunar eclipse from Phoenix

Stargazers, here's your chance to catch the next partial lunar eclipse and supermoon both at the same time.

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

The Earth, moon and sun line up to produce a solar or lunar eclipse anywhere from four to seven times a year, according to NASA. This lunar eclipse is the second and final of the year after a slight darkening in March.
