On March 13-14, 2025, a total lunar eclipse will be visible across Earth's night side. Although the point of greatest eclipse will be in the Pacific Ocean, North America and South America will get the best views. Some areas of Europe will get a slight view of the moonset, and East Asia will glimpse the spectacle at moonrise.

According to Dr. Angela Speck, a professor of astrophysics and department chair for physics and astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio, the "blood moon" total lunar eclipse was visible across the U.S. and no special equipment was necessary to view it.

On Thursday night and through the early morning hours of Friday, the first lunar eclipse since 2022 took place, one of three total lunar eclipse events lined up for 2025 and 2026. A winter storm obscured Utahns' view of the event,

A total lunar eclipse took place early Friday morning and social media was filled with photos and video from people who stayed up very late to see it.

Earth’s shadow will block most of the light that illuminates the lunar surface, creating what is known as a blood moon.

With predicted highs around 55 and 68 degrees on Thursday and Friday, respectively, viewers won't be unbearably cold. Normal low temperatures in western New York - which will be far closer to what the air temperatures at the time of the eclipse - are also unseasonably mild.

Late on Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday, the full moon turned a beautiful reddish color as it drifted through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse.

The Griffith Observatory in California livestreamed the Blood Moon total lunar eclipse Thursday night. See the stunning images!

While Earthlings were watching the moon turn blood red during Friday morning’s lunar eclipse, a robotic lander on the moon was looking back and getting a very different – and very rare – view.
