Total lunar eclipse March 2026: what time, where and when to see the full ‘blood moon’ tonight over North America, Australia and New Zealand
AI Summary
A total lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon" due to its deep red color, will be visible across North America, Australia, and New Zealand on Tuesday, March 2026. The eclipse occurs when the Earth aligns between the sun and moon, casting a shadow that indirectly refracts sunlight, giving the moon its reddish hue. Optimal viewing times vary by location, with the eclipse beginning around 7:04 PM in Perth, Australia, and reaching its peak shortly after midnight in New Zealand. NASA notes that some areas in North America may only see a partial eclipse due to the moon setting. This celestial event will be the last visible for nearly three years.
