Super moon, lunar eclipse

 Free show

On Saturday night a super moon combines with a total lunar eclipse.  That hasn't happened since 1982, and won't happen again until 2033.  This is also the Harvest Moon, the name given to the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox.

Check your local times. In Seattle, the event starts before the moon rises, but it will be above the horizon when the full eclipse begins at 7:11 p.m. The moon will stay in eclipse mode until 8:23 pm and then brighten back to its normal super moon self at 10:22 pm.
