Overview
- The eclipse occurs in the early hours of March 3 for North America, with visibility across Argentina spanning roughly March 2–4 depending on local time and weather.
- North America, including the United States, will see the event, and NASA identifies Argentina as one of the best places to observe the full sequence.
- TimeandDate projects that about 2% of the global population—around 176 million people—will see all phases, while roughly 31% will see at least totality lasting about 80 minutes.
- The Moon’s reddish tone appears as it passes fully into Earth’s shadow and atmospheric filtering lets red wavelengths light the lunar surface.
- This will be the last comparable total lunar eclipse until December 31, 2028, according to current forecasts.
