TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE — 'BLOOD MOON' TO OCCUR IN EARLY MARCH
On the night of March 2–3, a total lunar eclipse will take place, during which the so-called 'Blood Moon' can be observed.
The total eclipse phase will last approximately 58 minutes—during this period, the Moon will fully enter Earth's shadow and acquire a characteristic reddish hue.
The total duration of the phenomenon is about 5.5 hours, from the moment the Moon enters the Earth's penumbra until it completely exits it.
The eclipse will be best visible to residents of North America. In Europe, Africa, and most of Asia, observation may be difficult due to the time of day and the Moon's position, so many will be able to follow the event via online broadcasts.
Live streams are planned by:
- Timeanddate.com
- Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles
- The Virtual Telescope Project
It is noted that this will be the last total lunar eclipse until late 2028, and for North America, the last until June 2029.
