The night of March 13 and the early morning of March 14 will see a lunar eclipse (also known as the Blood Moon) and can be observed in much of the United States, Canada, and the rest of North and South America, as reported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA for its acronym in English).
This astronomical phenomenon will be the first in the region since 2022 and it will be possible to observe how the Moon will be tinged with a reddish tone during the first total lunar eclipse of 2025.
The official NASA website describes that "the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow and will appear red on the night of March 13 or early in the morning of March 14, depending on the time zone".
What time will the 2025 Blood Moon be visible in the United States
It is expected that the darkening of the Moon will be very slight and barely perceptible to fans. Experts estimate it will last around 65 minutes.
In the United States, it will be visible:
-
From 01:09 (Eastern time)
-
From 22:09 (Pacific time)
The totality of the 2025 eclipse will begin at 02:26 (Eastern time) or 23:26 (Pacific time).

-
End of partial eclipse (1:47 a.m. PDT, 4:47 a.m. EDT, 08:47 UTC)
At what time does the Eclipse end in the United States
According to specialists Caela Barry, Ernie Wright, and Molly Wasser, the end of the penumbral eclipse will be at 3:00 a.m. PDT, 6:00 a.m. EDT, 10:00 UTC.
To understand what an eclipse is, NASA has explained that between four and seven times a year, Earth, Moon, and Sun align perfectly to create this impressive astronomical phenomenon: eclipses. The orbit of the Moon around Earth is inclined compared to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This inclination is the reason why eclipses do not occur every month, but only on specific occasions.
There are two types of eclipses: lunar and solar. In a lunar eclipse, Earth's shadow covers the Moon, darkening it partially or totally. In a solar eclipse, on the other hand, the Moon comes between Earth and the Sun, blocking its light.
Something to keep in mind for March 14: unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses do not require eye protection to be observed.
