Lunar Eclipse Turns Moon Red in Rare Celestial Event

The total lunar eclipse, visible across parts of the Americas, Europe, and Africa, dazzled viewers with its deep red hue early on March 14, 2025.

The total lunar eclipse occurred during the early hours of March 14, 2025, with the Moon appearing red due to Earth's shadow filtering sunlight through its atmosphere.
The phenomenon was visible in its entirety across the Americas, large portions of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the western edges of Europe and Africa.
The eclipse's peak occurred at 7:58 AM French time, lasting over an hour in its totality phase, with the entire event spanning approximately six hours.
The Moon's red color results from sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere, similar to the effect seen during sunsets or sunrises on Earth.
A partial solar eclipse is expected on March 29, 2025, visible across Europe, eastern Canada, northern Russia, and parts of Africa, with safety precautions advised for direct viewing.
