Overview

• The total lunar eclipse occurred during the early hours of March 14, 2025, with the Moon appearing red due to Earth's shadow filtering sunlight through its atmosphere.
• The phenomenon was visible in its entirety across the Americas, large portions of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the western edges of Europe and Africa.
• The eclipse's peak occurred at 7:58 AM French time, lasting over an hour in its totality phase, with the entire event spanning approximately six hours.
• The Moon's red color results from sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere, similar to the effect seen during sunsets or sunrises on Earth.
• A partial solar eclipse is expected on March 29, 2025, visible across Europe, eastern Canada, northern Russia, and parts of Africa, with safety precautions advised for direct viewing.
