Overview

• The total lunar eclipse, popularly called a 'Blood Moon,' occurred on March 13-14, 2025, as Earth's shadow turned the moon red.
• March's full moon, also known as the 'Worm Moon,' gained the nickname 'Blood Worm Moon' during this rare celestial event.
• The phenomenon was visible in regions including North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia and Australia, with peak visibility early Friday morning.
• The reddish hue results from sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere, scattering shorter wavelengths and leaving red and orange tones to illuminate the moon.
• The next total lunar eclipse is expected on September 7-8, 2025, but will primarily be visible in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
