Rare Total Lunar Eclipse to Illuminate Skies Across the Americas This Week

The 'Blood Moon' will be visible in all U.S. states and much of the Western Hemisphere, marking the first total lunar eclipse since 2022.

The total lunar eclipse will occur overnight from March 13 to March 14, with totality lasting approximately 65 minutes.
The event will be visible across North and South America, parts of Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, with all U.S. states able to see at least part of the eclipse.
The moon will take on a reddish hue, commonly referred to as a 'Blood Moon,' caused by Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight during the alignment.
The eclipse begins at 11:57 p.m. EDT on March 13 with the penumbral phase and reaches totality at 2:26 a.m. EDT on March 14, ending around 6:00 a.m. EDT.
This is the last total lunar eclipse visible from North America until 2029, making it a must-see event for skywatchers.
