Referred to as a "blood moon" because of its reddish and orange hue, this is North America's lone total lunar eclipse of 2025, according to NASA. Local astronomy experts say New Yorkers should have a good view of the eclipse so long as the weather cooperates and don't mind staying up late to see it.

Next week, a total lunar eclipse will occur as Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the Sun's light and casting a reddish-orange hue on the Moon. This “blood moon” will captivate skywatchers worldwide.
