March 2026 will feature the year’s only total lunar eclipse, visible overnight from March 2 to early March 3. The best views of totality—when the moon turns red—will occur along the U.S. West Coast, including cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, around 3:33 a.m. PT. Totality lasts about an hour, ending near 5:17 a.m. PT, with partial phases visible elsewhere in the U.S. The moon appears red because Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light and refracts red wavelengths onto its surface. Atmospheric conditions, such as dust or smoke, can deepen the hue. Over 3.3 billion people worldwide can view this celestial event. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/marchs-total-lunar-eclipse-will-turn-the-moon-red-heres-when-to-see-it/1853015
