What is a Total Lunar Eclipse?
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow fully over the Moon. This event causes the Moon to take on a reddish hue, often referred to as a "blood moon," due to the Earth’s atmosphere scattering sunlight, filtering out shorter wavelengths, and allowing longer wavelengths (red and orange) to reach our moon.
How to Watch Total Lunar Eclipse?
Find a Clear Spot: Choose a location away from city lights, with an unobstructed view of the sky, to get the best view of the eclipse.
Use Binoculars or a Telescope (Optional): While the eclipse is visible to the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope can enhance the experience, offering a closer view of the Moon’s surface.
Don’t need Special Glasses: Unlike solar eclipses, you don’t need special glasses for a lunar eclipse, making it a safe and fun event to watch with the naked eye.
During this event, the Moon can appear to take on a reddish hue, often referred to as a ‘blood moon.’ So, mark your calendars for March 14, 2025, and be prepared to witness this spectacular celestial event.
