🌕 It’s Almost Time for the March 3, 2026 Blood Moon!
On March 3, 2026, the Moon will drift into the deepest part of Earth’s shadow, transforming into a glowing red sphere in the night sky. This total lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth, and Moon line up perfectly, and Earth’s atmosphere bends sunlight onto the Moon — filtering out blues and leaving behind rich crimson and copper shades.
For nearly an hour, the Moon will be fully covered in Earth’s umbra, creating that dramatic “Blood Moon” glow skywatchers love. The color can range from deep red to rusty orange, depending on atmospheric conditions at the time.
