'Blood Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse Dazzles Millions Around the World
Over 1 billion viewers across the Americas and Asia may see the blood moon, but cloud cover and storms could limit visibility in many U.S. regions, experts say.
- On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, a total lunar eclipse will be visible across North America, East Asia, and Australia to more than a billion potential viewers, though weather may cloud some U.S. views.
- A storm system with precipitation will track through the Mid-Atlantic, mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, while a quasi-stationary front across the Central Plains and Upper Midwest and an inverted trough near the Carolinas with a marine layer along the Pacific coast will create widespread clouds.
- Best viewing is expected in Hawaii, Alaska and much of California, with totality beginning at 6:03 a.m. ET and lasting about 58 minutes, weather permitting.
- If clouds block the sky, viewers can watch free livestreams on The Weather Channel app, move to high ridges or skyscrapers away from bright lights, and use binoculars or telescopes with smartphone-plus-telescope setups for photos.
- Looking ahead, the next U.S. total lunar eclipse is on December 31, 2028, and the next chance for totality from the U.S. is June 25-26, 2029, with an 'almost' total on August 27-28.
