How do you see the total lunar eclipse and blood moon this month
Astronomy lovers in America, prepare for treatment! Early in the morning of March 14, the total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout the United States. This type of eclipse occurs when the Earth prevents light from the sun that usually illuminates the moon, which leads to its deep red appearance, as if it was covered with blood.
On the night of March 13th and early in the fourteenth morning, the most darkest part of the earth’s shadow, called Umbra, will cover the moon during the maximum stage. The lunar eclipse when the moon is partially lighter is relatively common – but those that coincide with the completion of the moon are rare, relative. On average, each area of the Earth has an opportunity to display the overall lunar eclipse once every 2.5 years.
The total total moon will occur this year on September 7 and It will be visible In the eastern parts of Africa, through most Asia, and the western half of Australia.
NASA video shows the timing of the overall eclipse of the moon in the United States in March 2025.
The moon appears in red during the lunar eclipse due to How sunlight interact With the Earth’s atmosphere. The visible sunlight seems white, but it already consists of a group of lights of different colors, which can be broken or scattered depending on How much air They have to travel through. For this reason The sky looks blue When the sun is high in the sky but it is often red at sunset, when the sun is low and its light travels longer distances across the atmosphere.
When the sun’s rays hit the atmosphere of the Earth during the lunar eclipse, the light frequencies towards the blue end of the visible spectrum are spread out, away from the Earth Ombra, but those who have longer wavelengths, towards the red part of the spectrum, are bent in the interior and adhere to the moon.
What time will the lunar eclipse happen?
According to NASA, Eclipse will start at 8:57 pm Pacific time. In Mexico, the phenomenon will start at 10:57 pm CDT, in Argentina at 12:57 am (art), and in Spain at 5:57 am (Cet). The progress of the Earth’s shadow through the moon will be slow. Observers will notice that the satellite will gradually lose lighting in the period before the total eclipse, before turning the blood to red. It is expected that the overall eclipse, or the time when the blood moon appears at 11:26 pm PDT. It will continue to peak about one hour.
