The moon will soon turn red during total lunar eclipse

The total lunar eclipse will last about 58 minutes and be visible to billions across the Americas, Asia, and Australia with livestreams available worldwide.

  • On March 3, 2026, a total lunar eclipse will redden the Moon into a coppery `blood moon`, visible in the early hours for skywatchers in North America.
  • During totality, sunlight filtered by Earth's atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths and lets red and orange light reach the Moon as it moves into Earth's umbra, causing the coppery glow.
  • Totality will last 58 minutes, centered on a 6:04–7:02 a.m. EST window on March 3, 2026, with local times converting across Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii time zones.
  • For regions where clouds or daylight interfere, livestream coverage will provide the full view as the eclipse is invisible in Europe and Africa and partial in central Asia and South America.
  • Notably, the best views are expected from the western half of North America, Australia, and the Pacific, with the Western U.S. seeing the full eclipse and billions of viewers across the path, and this will be the last until New Year's Eve 2028.
