There’s a lunar total eclipse that will be visible in North America early in the morning of March 14, 2025. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth, sun, and moon are lined up so that the moon is in the earth’s shadow.
Unlike the total solar eclipse that lasted a few minutes, the lunar eclipse totality will last a whole hour. You don’t need eye protection to see it, or a telescope. For about an hour, from 2:30 am to 3:30 am eastern time, the moon will be in earth’s shadow and appear blood red. For about an hour before and after the total eclipse, the moon will appear as if a dark bite has been taken from it. If you do have a telescope or binoculars, you can see features on the moon in blood red.
