Grand Rapids, MI – A total lunar eclipse will be visible across Michigan early Friday morning, March 14, 2025. The event will unfold in the middle of the night, offering skywatchers a rare chance to see the moon turn red.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Grand Rapids, the eclipse will begin at 1:45 a.m. EDT. The total eclipse, when the moon takes on a reddish hue, will peak from 2:26 to 3:31 a.m. EDT. The event will end by 4:10 a.m. EDT as the moon moves out of Earth’s shadow.
Forecasters predict 60% cloud cover across lower Michigan, which may impact visibility. However, if the sky remains clear, residents across North and South America will also witness the eclipse.
This phenomenon, often called a “blood moon,” occurs when Earth’s shadow completely covers the moon, filtering sunlight and casting a reddish glow.
The next lunar eclipse visible from Michigan will occur on March 3, 2026, before sunrise.
