A blood moon is coming. The entirety of the lower 48 states, the greater Americas, and some regions beyond will witness — weather permitting — a total lunar eclipse the night of March 13 and into the early morning of March 14.

If you miss this eclipse, don't worry — there will be another total lunar eclipse overnight between Sept. 7 Sept. 8, visible across Europe, Asia and parts of the Americas. Then, from March 2 to March 3, 2026, another Blood Moon will be visible from much of the world, including North America.

March 2025 will offer a rare celestial spectacle, but unfortunately, viewers in India will miss out. On March 14, 2025, the first lunar eclipse of the year will take place, offering an extraordinary sight for skywatchers in parts of North and South America, and select regions of North Africa.

A 'partial lunar eclipse' happens when the Moon passes through the outer region of the Earth's shadow, the 'penumbra', but only a section of it passes through the darkest part of the earth shadow, the 'umbra' - according to Royal Museums Greenwich.

The rise of the "Snow Moon" today sets in motion a lunar orbit that will result in a total lunar eclipse for North America on March 14, 2025.

North America will experience a mesmerizing celestial event — a total lunar eclipse that will turn the moon into a stunning Blood Moon. Lunar eclipses are always an exciting spectacle for skywatchers,
