The upcoming lunar eclipse, often called the “blood moon” or the “blood worm moon,” is Earth’s first full lunar eclipse since 2022.
Totality, or when the entire moon is in the Earth’s umbra, will last about an hour, from 1:26 a.m. to 2:31 a.m. Central time on March 14. The moon will be tinted a coppery red. About an hour later, totality ends and the red color will fade.
It'll be visible to the human eye across Earth’s Western Hemisphere. For a better view, stargazers can try binoculars or a telescope.
