March 2025 is shaping up to be a fantastic month for stargazers, with several exciting celestial events on offer. The highlight of the month will be the first total lunar eclipse since 2022, visible across North America from March 13-14.
Just after sunset on Saturday, March 1, look for a brilliant planet Venus shining near a waxing crescent moon in the western sky. In late March, the northern lights may make an appearance after sunset, around March 20-23, offering breathtaking views to those in northern U.S. states, Canada, and regions near the Arctic Circle.
On Saturday, March 8, witness a striking sight of a big moon passing close to Mars in the constellation Gemini. A total lunar eclipse, or “blood moon,” will be visible overnight from North America on March 13-14, with totality occurring around 2:26 a.m. EST.
The month will also see a partial solar eclipse on sunrise on Saturday, March 29, visible from northeastern North America and parts of Europe. Make sure to check local times for the exact viewing period and never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection.
Mark your calendars for the darkest evenings between March 22-31, when the moon will be out of the sky as it wanes to and waxes from the new moon on March 29. Use online planetariums like SkySafari Pro, Stellarium, or The Sky Live to find accurate location-specific information for each event.
With clear skies and wide eyes, get ready to enjoy the celestial wonders of March 2025!
