Sioux Falls, SD – A total lunar eclipse will be visible across the United States on Friday, March 14, 2025. Skywatchers in South Dakota will see the full eclipse, but cloud cover may obstruct the view.
According to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, the partial eclipse begins at 12:09 a.m. CT. The greatest eclipse occurs at 1:29 a.m., with the event ending at 3:47 a.m.
Forecasters warn that an approaching storm system could bring high clouds, limiting visibility. Clear skies will provide the best viewing conditions.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, casting a reddish shadow over the lunar surface. This phenomenon, often called a “Blood Moon,” happens a few times each decade.
For the best experience, find a dark location away from city lights. Check the latest weather updates to see if conditions will allow for a clear view.
