Astronomy cherishrs in America will be treated to a wonderful show in this month. In the punctual morning of March 14, a total lunar eclipse will be apparent. During this phenomenon, the moon won’t fade from see but will materialize meaningful red as if it were covered in blood.
During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the airy from the sun that normassociate brightens the moon. On the night of March 13 and the punctual morning of the 14th, the grieffulest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra, will cover the moon during its luminoincludest phase. Partial lunar eclipses are relatively normal—but those appreciate this that coincide with a brimming moon are a relative rarity. On standard, each region of Earth has the chance to see a total lunar eclipse only once every 2.5 years.
A second total lunar eclipse will happen this year on September 7 and will be apparent in eastrict parts of Africa, apass much of Asia, and the westrict half of Australia.

The moon materializes red during a lunar eclipse becainclude of how the sun’s airy transmits with Earth’s atmosphere. Visible sunairy materializes white, but is actuassociate made up of combination of airys of contrastent colors and frequencies, which can be defracted or scattered depfinishing on how much of the atmosphere they have to travel thraw. It is for this reason that the sky materializes blue when the sun is high in the sky but is frequently red at sunset, when the sun is low and its airy is traveling lengthyer distances thraw the atmosphere.
When sunairy hits Earth’s atmosphere during a lunar eclipse, airy frequencies toward the blue finish of the apparent spectrum are scattered outward, away from Earth’s umbra, but those with lengthyer wavelengths, toward the red part of the spectrum, are bent inward and cast onto the moon.
What Time Will the Lunar Eclipse Happen?
According to NASA, the eclipse will commence at 8:57 pm Pacific Time. In Mexico, the phenomenon will commence at 10:57 pm CDT, in Argentina at 12:57 am (ART) and in Spain at 5:57 am (CET). The progress of Earth’s shadow apass the moon will be sluggish. Observers will see that the saincreateite will graduassociate disponder illumination in the direct up to the total eclipse, before turning blood red. The totality of the eclipse, or the time when the blood moon materializes, is projected to happen at 11:26 pm PDT. The climax will last approximately one hour.
Here is a enumerate of the times for the commence of totality for other countries in the Americas:
- Mexico: 1:26 am
- Colombia: 1:26 am
- Chile: 3:26 am
- Argentina: 3:26 am
- Peru: 1:26 am
