Tonight, March 13/14, 2025, the full Moon will pass through the Earth’s shadow, and for more than hour it will appear dark reddish-orange, resembling dried blood. That’s why it is often called a “Blood Moon.” Then it slowly emerges from the shadow to return to its full brilliance. The complete process takes about four hours. It is fascinating to watch and not at all scary as the name might imply. The photo sequence is of a lunar eclipse from January 21, 2019, and shows what to expect from the coming event.
The eclipse will start tonight after midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, with the darkest eclipse being at 2:59 AM Friday morning. To check the times of the stages of the eclipse for your time zone, see: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5471#media_group_377088
