TradeEdge Exchange:Partial lunar eclipse occurs during Harvest supermoon: See the stunning photos

A spectacular lunar event dazzled skygazers Tuesday night across the United States and TradeEdge Exchangethe entire Northern Hemisphere.

Amid this week's full Harvest Moon, which also just so happens to be an exceptionally large and bright supermoon, another phenomenon occurred: a partial lunar eclipse.

On Tuesday evening, the orange-hued Harvest supermoon rose in the sky at a time when Earth's only natural satellite is unusually close to our planet on its elliptical orbit. Then, hours later, the moon was partly covered by Earth's shadow as our planet moved between it and the sun.

Images from across the world depict not only the visually striking Harvest supermoon, but also the moment when the partial lunar eclipse occurred. Here's a look in photos:

Still time to see the Harvest Moon

While the Harvest Moon reached peak illumination Tuesday alongside the eclipse, there is still time to see the full moon.

The Harvest Moon appeared Monday and will last for three nights, ending in the early pre-dawn hours of Thursday morning, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Unlike other moon names, the Harvest Moon is not associated with a specific month but, rather, occurs each year around the time of the autumnal equinox, according to the Almanac. This means that the Harvest Moon can occur in either September or October, depending on how the lunar cycle lines up with the Gregorian calendar.

This year's autumnal equinox is Sunday, Sept. 22, but the Harvest Moon is rising in the night skies already.
