The celestial event will begin in late 13 March and continue until the early 14th March, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador Brenda Calberts told Nexstar K.
The moon, who does not make its own light, thanks for reflecting the sunlight. According to NASA, different stages of the moon look like the orbit of the moon, changing our perspective of the half -lit moon.
While the shadow of the earth is not the cause of the lunar phases, it is responsible for the lunar eclipse, which the moon moves into a darker part of the earth’s shadow, called Umbra.
During the total lunar eclipse, the earth will be completely located between the sun and the moon, blocking most of the sunlight – especially short wavelength colors such as blues and violet. Long wavelengths like red and orange are better to go through the earth’s atmosphere and reach the moon, according to NASA.
Like sunsets, more dust or clouds in the atmosphere at the time of eclipse, the eclipse will be red.
How to see
Adverse Total solar eclipse last yearNo need for special viewing equipment.
“The lunar eclipse is nice, because people can stay at home, periodically to see changes and stay comfortable,” NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador Brenda told Nexaster K. “The shadow of the earth is much larger than the moon shadow that hits the earth into a thin line.”
Those who want to maximize their viewing experience should get away with as bright lights as possible. While there are no lunar eclipse glasses, using a telescope or binoculars will guarantee a better point of view.
Speaking of visibility, anyone in the Western hemisphere will have the opportunity to see the eclipse, excluding the cloud cover.
When to see
For planning purposes, this is when NASA says that we will see that the main goals will begin on March 13 and continue for the early hours of the 14th (all -time EDT):
- 11:57 pm – the moon will enter the outer part of the earth’s shadow, called Penumbra. The effect will be subtle, but you will see a little blur.
- 1:09 AM – Partial eclipse begins. The moon starts to go to Umbra and the bite shape of the moon will be significantly dark.
- 2: 26 AM – Perfection in the earth’s Umbra begins with the moon. The moon will turn red, and photographers should use a traipod and adjust the settings to allow more light to enter the lens (longer exposure).
- 3:31 AM – Completion ends with the onset of exiting the moon. It will appear again that this time the bite has been taken from the moon passing through the shadow on the other side.
- 4:47 AM – The whole moon is still in Penumbra, and the brightness is not completely returned.
- At 6am – the eclipse is over.
If you miss the eclipse of March 13/14, the second will be on March 3, 2026, but the National Weather Service notes that it is the eastern US. Will be during moonset/sunrise for
