Total Lunar Eclipse to Turn Moon Red on March 13-14, 2025

A total lunar eclipse will occur on March 13-14, 2025, casting the moon in a deep, coppery-red hue, often referred to as a 'Blood Moon.' The eclipse will be observable from the Western Hemisphere. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon appears red because sunlight must first pass through Earth's atmosphere, where shorter wavelengths scatter, allowing red light to reach the moon. The totality phase will last approximately 65 minutes, with the entire eclipse spanning from 03:57 GMT to 09:59 GMT. While total lunar eclipses are not extremely rare, they occur a few times per decade. The last one happened on November 8, 2022. The subsequent eclipse, visible across Asia, Africa, Australia, and parts of Europe, is expected on September 7-8, 2025.
