Overview
- The eclipse is a total lunar event in which Earth’s shadow reddens the Moon as sunlight filters through the atmosphere.
- Visibility spans much of North America, while Argentina is forecast to see all phases between March 2 and 4, weather permitting.
- TimeandDate estimates roughly 2% of the world’s population can view every phase, and about 31% will see the total phase.
- NASA says the event is safe to watch with the naked eye, and darker locations plus binoculars or a telescope can enhance the view.
- No comparable total lunar eclipse is expected again until December 31, 2028.
