March 2025 Blood Moon: Total Lunar Eclipse to Illuminate North and South America

The year's only total lunar eclipse will occur on March 13-14, offering prime viewing opportunities across the Americas and parts of Europe and Africa.

The total lunar eclipse, also known as a 'Blood Moon,' will occur on the night of March 13-14, 2025, turning the moon a reddish hue during totality.
The eclipse will be visible across North and South America, with totality lasting approximately 65 minutes, starting at 11:26 PM PDT on March 13 and ending at 3:32 AM EDT on March 14.
Observers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are expected to have optimal viewing conditions if weather permits, with clear skies being more important than dark skies for visibility.
The event will not be visible in India due to daytime hours but will be live-streamed online by space agencies and observatories for global audiences.
This total lunar eclipse is part of a tetrad, a sequence of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, with the next one visible in September 2025.
