Earth’s shadow will block most of the light that illuminates the lunar surface, creating what is known as a blood moon.

The coming March 13-14 total lunar eclipse promises to be spectacular — if the weather permits. This "blood moon" — the first to grace Earth's skies since 2022 — will be visible to people in the lower 48 states and greater Americas unless clouds get in the way.

The total lunar eclipse will be viewable in all of the lower 48 states. A lunar eclipse will be visible for stargazers across the U.S. this March for the first time in roughly two years. Viewers across North America will get to enjoy a full Blood Worm Moon during a total lunar eclipse on March 13 into March 14.
