A total lunar eclipse will occur on the night of March 13, 2025, allowing Californians to witness a blood-red moon as it passes through Earth's shadow. This unique astronomical event happens when the sun, moon, and Earth align. During the eclipse, the moon will take on a reddish color, known as a "blood moon," due to the sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere. As the event concludes, the colors will fade until the moon returns to its regular appearance. NASA provides details on how and when to watch this spectacular night sky phenomenon.
"Once the eclipse starts, the full moon will take on a reddish hue and begin to look like a chunk has been taken out from one side, NASA said."
"As maximum eclipse nears, the moon transforms into a deep crimson orb," the space agency said. "That red color comes from the ring of all the sunsets and sunrises you'd see encircling our planet if you were an astronaut on the lunar surface right then."
