The total lunar eclipse, known as the 'Blood Moon', will occur on March 3, 2026, providing a spectacular celestial event visible from many regions of the world.
The astronomical calendar for 2026 is filled with exciting events, including a total lunar eclipse, referred to as the 'Blood Moon' or 'Red Moon'. This phenomenon occurs when the full moon passes fully through the Earth's shadow, giving it a striking reddish-orange hue, creating a captivating sight that can be enjoyed without special visual protection. Scheduled for the night of March 2-3, the total lunar eclipse will last for several hours, during which viewers in various parts of the planet will have the chance to witness this awe-inspiring event. Understanding what a total lunar eclipse entails is essential for astronomy enthusiasts. Such eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon, preventing sunlight from directly illuminating the moon and instead casting it in the Earth’s shadow, resulting in the dramatic color change and visibility of this phenomenon.
