Total Lunar Eclipse Brings a 'Blood Moon' in March: How to Watch
The full moon will put on a show during a total lunar eclipse in March, but be prepared to stay up late. For many, it coincides with Pi Day.
The March full moon will be an extra special one. A total lunar eclipse, visible from across the US, will turn our lunar neighbor into a glowing reddish lantern. The celestial show takes place late at night and will last for hours. Here's where, when and how to witness this beautiful natural event.
Totality meaning when the moon is totally within Earth's shadow will begin at 11:26 p.m. PDT on March 13, 2025 2:26 a.m. EDT on March 14 06:26 UTC, lasting for 65 minutes. And the reddening progresses over hours, as the moon gradually moves into the Earth's shadow.
Technically, the eclipse starts with slight dimming on March 13 at 8:57 p.m. PDT 11:57 p.m. EDT 03:57 UTC. So, weather permitting, you'll have ample opportunity to see these bloody colors in action.
What is a total lunar eclipse?
While eclipses may feel like rarities, they come around throughout the year in different forms. There are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and partial eclipses and total eclipses.
The March event is a total lunar eclipse thanks to the positions of the sun, Earth and moon in relation to each other. Earth will drape its shadow over the moon until the moon is blanketed by the darkest part of the shadow. This doesn't blot out the moon, but it creates a change in its color.
