The spectacle will be visible Tuesday morning from North America, Central America and the western part of South America. Australia and eastern Asia can catch it Tuesday night.

Partial stages of the eclipse with small bites taken out of the moon can be seen from Central Asia and much of South America. Africa and Europe will be shut out.

Solar and lunar eclipses happen due to a precise alignment of the sun, moon and Earth. There are between four and seven a year, according to NASA.

The eclipses tend to follow each other, taking advantage of the sweet spot in the celestial bodies’ orbits. Tuesday’s total eclipse of the moon comes two weeks after a ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse that dazzled people and penguins in Antarctica.

During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and full moon, casting a shadow that covers the moon. The so-called blood moon looks red because of stray bits of sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere.

The show unfolds over several hours, with totality lasting about an hour.

You cannot see the Blood Moon (total lunar eclipse) on March 3, 2026, from Europe. This specific event is only visible in North and Central America, the Pacific, Australia, and parts of East Asia.

Standard Dutch and British wholesale gas prices rose by more than 25 percent on Monday after Iran and Israel intensified attacks in the Middle East and after the suspension of energy shipments via the Strait of Hormuz.

Trade sources report that most tanker owners, major oil companies and trading houses have stopped shipping crude oil, fuel, and liquefied gas (LNG), through the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran warned against it.

Europe has increased its imports of LNG in recent years, as it seeks out Russian gas after Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A full or prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz would result in a global increase in competition for gas sources, and thus higher prices.

Around 8-10% of European LNG imports are directly linked to the Hormuz flow. In the event of a disruption, Asian buyers would bid aggressively for U.S. “LNG cargoes will tighten the Atlantic basin, pushing European prices higher and forcing European prices to rise sharply,” said SEB commodities analysts Ole Hvalbye.

ICE data revealed that the Dutch front-month contract, which is a benchmark for Europe and seen as a price reference, had risen by almost 8 euros to 39.96 euros/MWh or $13.70/mmBtu at 0842 GMT.

ICE data shows that the British April contract is up by 23.43 pennies at 102.00 cents per therm.

Analysts warn that a prolonged disruption may cause prices to rise.

The Israeli army has issued enforced evacuation orders for 18 villages and town, claiming they are being used by Hezbollah.

This comes after Israel bombed the suburbs of Lebanon’s capital and areas in the country’s south after the Iran-allied Lebanese group attacked Israel overnight in retaliation for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Since the resumption of hostilities, more than 30 people have been killed and 149 have been injured in Lebanon, health officials said.

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was targeted with four ballistic missiles. (Developing)

According to a statement released by the Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, belonging to the United States Navy, was struck by four ballistic missiles.

In Announcement No. 7 regarding Operation “True Promise 4,” the IRGC stated that the action was carried out following recent operations by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran against targets associated with the United States and Israel. The statement said that the U.S. Navy vessel was hit as part of this operation.

The statement further added that the armed forces have entered a “new phase” of military confrontation and that operations on land and at sea will be intensified.

No “confirmed reports” indicate the USS Abraham Lincoln was hit or damaged by ballistic missiles. Iran’s IRGC claims it targeted the carrier with four missiles in retaliation for recent US/Israeli strikes on Iran.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad served as the president of Iran from 2005 to 2013. (Confirmed)

He was known as a radical conservative and supporter of anti-Western policies, often expressing extreme hatred towards Israel. At the same time, Ahmadinejad gained fame for something no one expected from him — he supported Ukraine and condemned the Russian invasion.

“Great people of Ukraine, President Zelensky. Your noble and almost unprecedented resistance has exposed the satanic plans of the enemies of humanity. Know that the great country — Iran — stands with you and admires your heroic perseverance,” he wrote in March 2022.

Tehran, Iranian news agency ILNA reported.

“Our ships will stay ‌put for several days,” one top executive ⁠at a major trading company told the Reuters news agency.

About 20 million barrels of crude oil and other fuel types travel through the arterial waterway, which passes between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran, with any suspensions threatening major global disruptions.
