ATLANTA – Stargazers and moon lovers across the Southern United States are in for a celestial treat as North America’s first Blood Moon eclipse since 2022 will occur on the evening of March 13. This will be the only total lunar eclipse visible from North America in 2025.
What we know: — A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth, Moon, and Sun align, causing Earth’s shadow to completely cover the Moon,according to NASA. The deep red-orange tint seen during the eclipse, often called a Blood Moon, is caused by Rayleigh scattering—the same phenomenon that makes the sky blue and sunsets red.
This will be the first total lunar eclipse of 2025, according to NASA. Another one will occur on Sept. 7, but it will only be visible in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The United States won’t witness another total lunar eclipse until March 3, 2026, with a partial eclipse expected on August 28, 2026. After that, the next total eclipse visible in the Americas won’t happen until 2029.…
