On October 28, a partial lunar eclipse coincided with the full Hunter's Moon, creating a celestial spectacle visible in many parts of the world. The Hunter's Moon, traditionally named for the time of year when game is fattened and hunters begin storing food for winter, was at its peak fullness during this event. The partial lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon but they do not form a perfect line, resulted in a dark shadow on the Moon's surface. This shadow covered approximately 83% of the Moon at the peak of the eclipse.

The event was visible in many parts of the United States, including Michigan and South Carolina, as well as other parts of the world. In Michigan, the moonset occurred at 7:29 a.m. and moonrise at 6:39 p.m., providing ample opportunity for viewing. In South Carolina, the eclipse was visible from 2:18 a.m. to 5:47 a.m., with the maximum eclipse occurring at 4:04 a.m.

For those interested in capturing the event, experts suggested using a smartphone's advanced camera capabilities. Tips for photographing the event included using a tripod for stability, adjusting the exposure and focus manually, and using the phone's optical zoom feature. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain in some areas, many were still able to witness and capture this celestial event.
