A “Blood Moon” is rising on March 2–3, 2026. 🌘 The last total lunar eclipse for nearly 3 years will be visible to nearly 2.5 billion people as Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon. During totality from 11:04 to 12:02 UTC, sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red wavelengths to reach the Moon, giving it that signature copper glow. No eclipse glasses required. #LunarEclipse #Astronomy #BloodMoon #Space #Science | Museum of Science, Boston

On Friday 27 July there will be a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon. The blood moon occurs when the sun, Earth and moon align perfectly, putting the moon in the Earth's shadow. The red colouring is a result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere. | The Guardian
