ComanderZhabikKlavik 3,560 March 13 Share March 13 I accidentally saw the moon today and realized that there is a lunar eclipse today. At the end I will show the photos of the moon that I took. Information about the lunar eclipse is taken from this site: https://starwalk.space/en/news/total-lunar-eclipse-march-13-14-2025 Visibility map of the March 2025 lunar eclipse The total phase of the March 13-14, 2025 lunar eclipse will last from 06:26 GMT to 07:32 GMT. If this timing falls during the night in your location, you'll be able to see the Blood Moon eclipse. Convert it to your local time to check if the total eclipse is visible from your location. Read on for the detailed eclipse schedule. Some locations will see the entire total eclipse, while others will see only part of it, as the Moon rises later or sets earlier there: The entire eclipse will be visible over North and South America, western Europe, and western Africa. At least part of the eclipse will be visible from Europe, much of Asia, Australia, and Africa, all over North and South America, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Arctic, and Antarctica. Total lunar eclipse tonight: visibility map for the USA The March 2025 lunar eclipse is a special event itself, but it's even more unique for people in the United States. This time, the "Blood Moon" phase — when the Moon turns a deep red — will be fully visible across the country. Don’t miss this rare event; it won’t happen again until 2048. The best part about a lunar eclipse is that the Moon is visible even from light-polluted cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Miami. So you don’t have to worry about your location. Only clouds can stop you from enjoying the blood-red Moon! Time of the lunar eclipse in March 2025 This total lunar eclipse is perfect for night owls — it will happen in the dead of night! The red line on the map below shows where the eclipse will peak around midnight on March 13-14 (the line marks the Moon on the meridian at greatest eclipse). Here is the detailed schedule for the total lunar eclipse on March 13-14, 2025. The exact time depends on your time zone, so don't forget to convert the timeline to your local time. To understand what happens during each phase, check the next section of the article. Penumbral eclipse begins at 8:57 p.m. PDT, 11:57 p.m. EDT, 03:57 GMT; Partial eclipse begins at 10:09 p.m. PDT, 1:09 a.m. EDT, 05:09 GMT; Totality begins at 11:26 p.m. PDT, 2:26 a.m. EDT, 06:26 GMT; Maximum Eclipse is at 11:58 p.m. PDT, 2:58 a.m. EDT, 06:58 GMT; Totality ends at 12:31 a.m. PDT, 3:31 a.m. EDT, 07:31 GMT; Partial eclipse ends at 1:47 a.m. PDT, 4:47 a.m. EDT, 08:47 GMT; Penumbral eclipse ends at 3:00 a.m. PDT, 6:00 a.m. EDT, 10:00 GMT. The entire eclipse will last 6 hours and 3 minutes, while the total phase (when the Moon is in Earth’s darkest shadow and appears dark red) will last only 1 hour and 5 minutes. What happens during the total lunar eclipse? Penumbral Eclipse Begins: The Moon enters Earth’s penumbra, the outer part of its shadow. The Moon starts to dim slightly, though the change is subtle and may be hard to notice. Partial Eclipse Begins: The Moon begins to move into Earth’s umbra, the darker inner shadow. A noticeable "bite" appears to be taken out of the lunar disk as the umbra darkens part of the Moon. Totality Begins: The entire Moon is now within Earth’s umbra. The Moon takes on a coppery red hue, often called a "Blood Moon." For a better view, use binoculars or a telescope. To photograph it, use a tripod and set your camera to exposures of several seconds. Totality Ends: The Moon starts to leave the umbra, and the red tint fades. A "bite" reappears, but this time on the opposite side of the lunar disk. Partial Eclipse Ends: The Moon fully exits the umbra and is once again only in the penumbra. The dimming effect is subtle and may be difficult to observe. Penumbral Eclipse Ends: The Moon completely leaves Earth’s penumbra, marking the end of the eclipse. Photo I took the photo with my new phone. Some photos I took by holding the binoculars up to the phone camera because the phone camera doesn't have enough zoom.
