A total lunar eclipse was visible across the U.S. That occurs when the earth is between the sun and the moon and all three bodies are on the same plane of orbit. The sun casts the earth’s shadow onto the moon, making it look red. A total lunar eclipse is also called a blood moon.

If you miss this one, the next total lunar eclipse visible from Nebraska will be on March 3, 2026. The last total lunar eclipse visible in the Americas was in November of 2022.
