A total lunar eclipse will be visible from the US for one night in March, marking only this year’s occurrence. The event is expected to take place from 11 p.m. on March 13 to 5 a.m. on March 14, with totality lasting around 1:30 a.m. The Moon will temporarily darken and adopt a reddish hue due to Earth’s shadow.
According to NASA, the entire Moon will pass into the Earth’s umbra before returning to its normal appearance. This phenomenon has led some to call total lunar eclipses “Blood Moons.” Witnessing this event requires no special equipment or traveling, as it can be seen from anywhere with a clear view of the Moon.
To make the most of this opportunity, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson advises staying up early and finding a safe viewing spot. The eclipse will start with a partial phase at 12:09 a.m., followed by full eclipse at 1:26 a.m. and ending at 2:31 a.m.
