Colorado Ready for a Red-Hued Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Colorado will experience a near-total lunar eclipse Thursday night, turning the Moon a reddish hue; the eclipse begins around 8:30 p.m. and lasts until 1 a.m., with peak visibility between 9:45 and 10:45 p.m. and about 92–95% of the Moon in Earth's shadow. Most of the state should have a good view, though southern areas face higher cloud risk; for best results, seek darker skies away from city lights, and be ready to drive a bit for patches of clearer sky—telescopes or binoculars can help, but the naked eye should still deliver a striking show.

Global skywatchers witness March 3 blood moon eclipse

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.
