The Blood Moon phase peaks at 2:36 AM EDT and lasts just over an hour. It will be visible across the Americas, Antarctica, Alaska, northeastern Russia, and parts of Africa.
On March 29, a partial solar eclipse will follow. The Moon will obscure up to 93% of the Sun, creating a spectacular view in parts of the Americas, Europe, Africa, and western Russia. Starting at 4:51 AM EDT, this event will last nearly four hours.
On September 7 there will be another total lunar eclipse, this time lasting three and a half hours. Visible from Asia, Russia, parts of Africa, Oceania, and Europe, the Moon will appear slightly larger due to its proximity to Earth. The blood Moon phase will last a remarkable 1 hour and 22 minutes.
