A rare total lunar eclipse, also known as a “blood moon,” is set to occur on the night of March 13, visible across much of the Americas, Europe, and the UK. This phenomenon happens when the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of Earth, causing Earth’s shadow to fall on the moon. The last total lunar eclipse took place in November 2022, and the upcoming one is predicted to last 6 hours and 3 minutes, beginning around 11:57 p.m. EST on March 13 and reaching totality around 2:30 a.m. EST on March 14.
The total lunar eclipse will be visible in North America, South America, western parts of Europe, and Africa. The next total lunar eclipse visible in the U.S. will not occur until March 2026. Additionally, the next Election Day lunar eclipse is forecasted to take place in 372 years on November 8, 2394. This event is significant for celestial enthusiasts as it has been nearly three years since the last total lunar eclipse, making it a rare and noteworthy occurrence.
