New York – A total lunar eclipse will be visible across the eastern United States early Friday morning, March 14, 2025. Skywatchers will have a rare chance to see the moon turn red during the overnight hours.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the eclipse will begin at the following times in each time zone:
• Eastern Time (ET) – Begins at 1:45 a.m., total eclipse from 2:26 to 3:31 a.m., ends at 4:10 a.m.
• Central Time (CT) – Begins at 12:45 a.m., total eclipse from 1:26 to 2:31 a.m., ends at 3:10 a.m.
Cloud cover may impact visibility, with lower Michigan expected to have 60% cloud cover. However, residents across the East Coast and much of North and South America will have a chance to see the event if skies remain clear.
This phenomenon, often called a “blood moon,” happens when Earth’s shadow completely covers the moon, filtering sunlight and casting a reddish glow.
The next visible lunar eclipse in the region will occur on March 3, 2026, before sunrise.
