Look out (and look up) this month for a total lunar eclipse! Most skywatchers in the Western Hemisphere will be able to see the eclipse early in the morning of March 14—or late at night on March 13, depending on your time zone. The Moon will slowly pass into the Earth's shadow, looking like a bite is being taken out of its lunar disk. Then, when totality begins (at 2:26 a.m. EDT, or 0626 UTC), it will turn a deep, coppery red. That's not the only skywatching highlight coming up, though. Mercury will make a rare appearance in the Northern Hemisphere's night skies from March 7-9, and a new moon will provide great opportunities to see faint stars and the Milky Way.
