Blood Moon total lunar eclipse: Will moon turn into red? Here's when and where to watch in US
A near-total lunar eclipse, offering views across North and South America, will occur Thursday night. About 96.2% of the moon will be shadowed.
A near-total lunar eclipse will captivate observers in North and South America on Thursday night. Earth's shadow will envelop 96.2% of the moon's surface, casting a reddish-orange hue due to sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "blood moon." The eclipse will start at 9:23 p.m. ET, with the most significant phase occurring at 10:33 p.m. ET when the Earth's shadow begins to obscure the moon.
The eclipse will conclude at 3:01 a.m. ET. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses can be viewed safely without protective eyewear, and viewers can enhance their experience with binoculars or telescopes. To maximize enjoyment, find an unobstructed eastern or southeastern location, avoid bright city lights, check local cloud forecasts, and utilize Night Mode or long-exposure settings on smartphones for photography.
