THE MARCH 2026 BLOOD MOON
On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, a total lunar eclipse will turn the moon a stunning blood red.
WHERE TO WATCH THE SPECTACLE
Visible across North and Central America, Australia, and Eastern Asia. Europe and Africa will miss out.
A PERFECT CELESTIAL ALIGNMENT
The Earth blocks the sun's light, casting a deep shadow over the full moon in a precise alignment.
WHY IS IT BLOOD RED?
Sunlight filters through Earth's atmosphere, scattering blue light and leaving only the red glow.
NO SPECIAL GEAR REQUIRED
Unlike solar eclipses, you can watch this safely with the naked eye. Just find a clear sky!
A SLOW-MOTION SHOW
The entire event lasts several hours, with 'totality'—the full red phase—lasting about one hour.
LAST CHANCE UNTIL 2028
Don't miss it! After Tuesday, the next total lunar eclipse won't occur until late 2028.
