US EditionA Total Lunar Eclipse Will Turn the Moon Blood Red on Tuesday Across Several Continents
The total lunar eclipse will be visible across multiple continents with totality lasting about an hour, marking the last such event until late 2028, NASA says.
- On March 3, NASA said a total lunar eclipse will be visible across North America, turning the Moon reddish in early morning hours.
- NASA explained that because Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, Earth's atmosphere filters sunlight, scattering blue light and leaving red wavelengths to illuminate the Moon.
- Expect the eclipse to start with a partial phase at 4:50 a.m., and reach totality at 6:04 a.m. ET, NASA explained.
- Skywatchers should note that Eastern Time Zone viewers may miss the full eclipse due to moonset, so clear western horizons and early alarms are advised.
- After the eclipse, Venus and Saturn will appear closer, and the next total lunar eclipse will be on December 20, 2029.
