Rare 'Worm Blood Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse to Grace North American Skies This Week

The total lunar eclipse, lasting 65 minutes, will be visible overnight on March 13-14, followed by the Worm Moon's full rise on March 14.

  • The total lunar eclipse, known as a 'Blood Moon,' will occur overnight from March 13 to March 14, 2025, across North America.
  • During the 65-minute totality phase, the moon will take on a reddish hue due to Earth's shadow and atmospheric scattering of sunlight.
  • Exact viewing times for totality vary by U.S. time zone, starting at 11:26 p.m. PST on March 13 and ending at 3:31 a.m. EST on March 14.
  • The Worm Moon, the final full moon of winter, will rise on March 14 at dusk, offering another celestial highlight following the eclipse.
  • This will be the best total lunar eclipse visible in North America until 2029, with the next partial solar eclipse occurring on March 29, 2025.
