On the night between March 13 and 14, skywatchers in North and South America—as well as parts of Europe, Africa and Oceania—who either stay up extremely late or wake up extremely early will be rewarded with a total lunar eclipse. Also called a “blood moon” for its red hue, this celestial event will be the first total lunar eclipse since 2022.

Astronomy lovers in America will be treated to a great show in this month. In the early morning of March 14, a total lunar eclipse will be visible. During this phenomenon, the moon won’t disappear from view but will appear deep red as if it were covered in blood.
