Global skywatchers witness March 3 blood moon eclipse
TL;DR
The March 3 total lunar eclipse—aka the blood moon—was visible across North America, Australia, and eastern Asia, with totality lasting about an hour during a roughly 5.5-hour event. Earth's shadow reddened the Moon via Rayleigh scattering of sunlight through our atmosphere, offering dramatic images from observers worldwide. Up to about 3 billion people could see at least part of the eclipse, and timing for the U.S. saw the total phase around 6–7 a.m. EST on the East Coast. The next total lunar eclipse visible in North America occurs on June 26, 2029.
