A total lunar eclipse on March 13-14, 2025, will be visible across Earth’s night side. See detailed maps of where and when to watch the dramatic ‘Blood Moon’.
The first total lunar eclipse since 2022 is set to grace the night sky tomorrow (March 13-14, 2025) — but only for those on Earth’s night side. During this celestial event, the moon will slip into Earth’s shadow for 65 minutes, taking on a deep reddish hue in what’s often called a “blood moon.”
While the eclipse will be visible worldwide at the same universal time, the best views will be in North and South America. Observers in parts of Europe may catch a glimpse at moonset, while those in East Asia will see it as the moon rises. The point of greatest eclipse falls over the Pacific Ocean, making it an unforgettable sight for skywatchers across the Americas.

Unlike during a solar eclipse, it is safe to look at the moon during the entire lunar eclipse. They’re not only completely safe but also leisurely, lasting many hours. This one occurs between 11:57 p.m. and 6 a.m. EDT (03:57 and 10:00 UTC) — a total of six hours — though arguably the most interesting part, totality, happens between 2:26 and 03:31 a.m. EDT (06:26 and 07:31 UTC).
