Tonight, a rare total lunar eclipse will be visible from parts of the Americas, the Pacific, and the Atlantic, as well as western Europe and Africa. This event occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, casting a massive shadow on the Moon, which turns red due to the scattering of sunlight through Earth's atmosphere. The eclipse will last about six hours, with the Moon fully in Earth's shadow for over an hour. In North America, the eclipse begins at 1:09 AM ET, with the total phase occurring from 2:26 AM to 3:31 AM ET. This is the first total lunar eclipse since 2022, and another will occur in September. This eclipse is a "mini Moon," meaning the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth, appearing about 7% smaller than usual. Additionally, a partial solar eclipse will occur on March 29 in eastern Canada, parts of Europe, northern Russia, and northwest Africa.
