Rare 'Blood Moon' Lunar Eclipse to Grace Skies Across the Americas Tonight

The total lunar eclipse, visible in the Western Hemisphere, will last over an hour and turn the moon a striking red hue.

The total lunar eclipse, known as the 'Blood Moon,' will occur overnight from March 13 to March 14, 2025, and will be visible across the Americas, weather permitting.
The eclipse will reach totality at approximately 2:30 a.m. Eastern Time and last for 65 minutes, during which the moon will appear reddish due to Earth's shadow.
This is the first total lunar eclipse visible in the Americas since November 2022 and the only one this year for the region.
The event will not be visible in India, but live streams are available online via platforms like the Virtual Telescope Project and Griffith Observatory.
NASA predicts the next total lunar eclipse visible in the Americas will occur in August 2026, with another following in 2029.
