The Only 'Blood Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse Visible to the Naked Eye Will Occur This March

The Only 'Blood Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse Visible to the Naked Eye Will Occur This March

A total lunar eclipse, often referred to as a "blood moon," is set to occur overnight from March 13 to 14. During this celestial event, the moon will pass into Earth's shadow, taking on a reddish hue due to the scattering of sunlight through Earth's atmosphere—hence the “blood moon” moniker for the phenomenon.

This eclipse will be visible across the night side of Earth (the side facing away from the sun), with the best views in North and South America.

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to observe with the naked eye. For an enhanced experience, binoculars or a telescope can reveal intricate details on the moon's surface.

The eclipse will unfold over several hours:
• Penumbral eclipse begins: 8:57 p.m. PDT (11:57 p.m. EDT) on March 13
• Partial eclipse begins: 10:09 p.m. PDT (1:09 a.m. EDT)
• Totality (“blood moon” phase): 11:26 p.m. PDT (2:26 a.m. EDT) to 12:31 a.m. PDT (3:31 a.m. EDT)
• Partial eclipse ends: 1:47 a.m. PDT (4:47 a.m. EDT)
• Penumbral eclipse ends: 3:00 a.m. PDT (6:00 a.m. EDT)
