On the night between March 13 and 14, skywatchers in North and South America—as well as parts of Europe, Africa and Oceania—who either stay up extremely late or wake up extremely early will be rewarded with a total lunar eclipse.

While people may remember the big solar eclipse from April of last year, Dr. Daniel Vanden Berk from Saint Vincent College says, there is a difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse, and it is kind of night and day.

A total lunar eclipse on March 13-14, 2025, will be visible across Earth's night side. See detailed maps of where and when to watch the dramatic 'Blood Moon'.
