If you’re in North America, don’t forget to look up tonight (or tomorrow morning, depending on your time zone). There will be a total lunar eclipse on March 13-14, 2025, visible to Earth’s western hemisphere. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Sun, and Moon align, causing the Moon to appear reddish-orange.

NASA says tonight marks the first time the Moon will fully enter Earth’s shadow, causing a total lunar eclipse, since November 2022. During totality, if there isn’t too much cloud cover, viewers will see a “blood Moon.” Totality will last a little over an hour before the Moon begins to emerge from the Earth’s central shadow.
