Don’t Miss the Blood Moon: Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13-14

A stunning total lunar eclipse will grace the night sky on March 13-14, turning the Moon a deep red hue, often referred to as a Blood Moon. The eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, causing Earth’s shadow to cast a reddish glow over the Moon.

NASA’s Dr. Renee Weber, an expert in lunar exploration, encourages skywatchers to step outside for this rare celestial event. No special equipment is needed—just clear skies and a spot away from city lights. In Huntsville, Alabama, the partial eclipse begins at 10:57 p.m. on March 13, with totality occurring from 1:26 a.m. to 2:31 a.m. on March 14.

Cloud cover could be a factor, so check the weather before heading out. If conditions allow, this hour-long total eclipse will be a spectacular sight for space enthusiasts. Learn more about the event and how to observe it by visiting NASA’s What’s Up guide and the Daily Moon Guide. 🌕🔭
