(WOWO): The Harvest Moon is another reminder that the official start of autumn is just days away.

On Friday, the full Harvest moon will peak at 3:05 p.m. EDT, according to Space.com. Not only will it be a full moon, but also an eclipse.

The Earth’s outer shadow will pass the full moon. It will cause a faint dimming of the full moon and it will be the last eclipse for 2016.

September’s full moon is called the harvest moon because it falls nearest to Sept. 22, the autumnal equinox.

WHEN: The Harvest moon will happen at 3:05 p.m.
WHERE: The eclipse will only be visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. But, there are other ways to view the eclipse.
HOW TO WATCH: Slooh, an online observatory, will offer a four hour broadcast of the eclipse for people across the world. The live stream starts at 12:45 p.m., Friday, Sept. 16. You can watch the broadcast on slooh’s website.
