A total lunar eclipse, also known as a “blood moon,” is happening in March. The eclipse will be visible in various parts of the world, including eastern Asia, Australia, and North and Central America. Here’s how to view it.
The total lunar eclipse is set to occur on March 3, and it will be visible in the evening from eastern Asia and Australia, throughout the night in the Pacific, and going into the early morning in North and Central America, as well as far western South America, according to NASA.
The eclipse will turn the moon red, a phenomenon known as a “blood moon.” This occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking most of the sun’s light from reaching the moon. The light that does reach the moon is filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere, giving it a reddish hue.
Where to View the Eclipse
The total lunar eclipse will be visible from various parts of the world. It will be partially visible in central Asia and much of South America, but it will not be visible in Africa or Europe.
The best time to view the eclipse will be around 4 a.m. EST, when the total eclipse will begin. The eclipse will end around 7 a.m. EST, and a partial eclipse will continue until around 9 a.m. EST.
What to Expect During the Eclipse
During the eclipse, it may be easier to view constellations. The moon will be in the constellation Leo, under the lion’s hind paws, according to NASA.
A few days after the eclipse, on March 8, Venus and Saturn will appear closer to each other in the sky. Anyone seeking more specific information on how to view the eclipse, stars, and planets can visit NASA’s What’s Up guide.
