The night sky is going to give a rare look.
The total lunar eclipse will be on March 13-14, 2025 and the moon will be thrown into a deep, copper-red color. This eclipse will be observing from the Western hemisphere of the earth.
You need to know why the eclipse, the moon will see red, where you can see it and how rare it is.
What is the total lunar eclipse?
When the earth is directly between the sun and the moon, the moon becomes the moon when the sun disrupts and the shadow of the moon.
There are three primary types of eclipse:
Lunar eclipse – The moon is completely in the shadow of the earth and takes a reddish color.
Partial lunar eclipse – This happens when there is a part of the pour in the shadow of the earth. The shadows are expanded and then decreased, but never reaches the phase of full.
The eclipse of the penbral lunar – A subtle event where the moon passes through the outer shade of the earth, which is known as a penambra. The moon looks dark than usual.
Why does the moon look red?
During the eclipse of the total moon, the moon becomes red or orange. The only sunshine that reaches the moon is to first go through the earth’s atmosphere.
There, sunlight dust stamps particles, drops of water and atmospheric gases. The phenomenon, known as Releh Scattering, comes to the play: the colors of the sun are less scattered and are able to make it around the earth to reach the moon, while the small wavelength colors are scattered elsewhere and never make the moon.
The color of the sun – such as anyone knows the rainbow or observing the prism – the violet (the shortest wavelength) to the red (the longest wavelength).
The red light that makes the eclipse moon reflects its surface, which gives the earth’s only natural satellite color.
What time will the Blood Moon Moon eclipse?
This total lunar eclipse will be visible in many parts of the western hemisphere. It is expected to be able to see the entire process of north and South America.

- The Penmbral Eclipse begins: 03:57 GMT (23:57 and)
- The partial eclipse begins: 05:09 GMT (01:09 and)
- The total eclipse begins: 06:26 GMT (02:26 and)
- Eclipse (The deepest red color): 06:58 GMT (02:58 at)
- The total eclipse ends: 07:31 GMT (03:31 and)
- Partial eclipse ends: 08:47 GMT (04:47)
- Penmbral Eklips ends: 09:59 GMT (05:59 and)
The phase of the full, during which the moon is completely covered by the shadow of the earth, will last about 65 minutes. Overall, the eclipse will be between 03:57 GMT and 09:59 GMT.

What is the relevance of the total lunar eclipse?
Scientific and astronomical importance is a variety of ways to eclipse of the total lunar eclipse from cultural and symbolic meanings. Some of these includes this:
The study of the atmosphere of the earth: Scientific atmosphere can analyze the activity of pollution, pollution and volcanic activity by examining how sunlight goes through the earth’s environment.
Exportant Research: According to NASA, studying that the light around the earth is bent around eclipse, the astronomers well understand how the planets that transport in front of their sun while moving other stars.
It also provides the opportunity to monitor and analyze interaction between the sun, the moon and the earth.
Culturally, many ancient civilizations related to the eclipse of the moon, deity or supernatural events. Some believe that they showed change or divine message.
In Hindu mythological stories, the lunar eclipse has been linked to the demons, who believes that the moon is swallowed. Other cultures look at the eclipse because other animals like the Jaguar in the Myan tradition or the dog in China have swallowed the moon.

How to see the lunar eclipse?
The lunar eclipse is some of the most accessible skyline events to observe.
To a witness, just go out and look up – no telescope or special equipment is required. However, the use of telescopes or small telescopes can enhance the experience by exposing more information to the surface of the moon.
NASA recommends to find a dark place as “the city will be more clear in areas that will be more clear in the city lights and light pollution.”
