The night sky on Tuesday will treat us to a partial lunar eclipse during a supermoon. It’s an astronomical wonder that almost anyone in the Western Hemisphere can experience, and it’s the latest reminder that our home planet is part of a bigger cosmic system.

The next total lunar eclipse, or "blood moon," is on March 14, 2025, and will be visible from North America. It will be the first of three in just 354 days.

On Sept. 17, the full moon will put on a dazzling display. While appearing slightly larger-than-average as a "supermoon" it will also undergo a partial lunar eclipse.
