March’s full “Blood Worm Moon,” a phenomenon that makes the moon appear red during a total lunar eclipse, is visible this week for Americans and others in Earth’s Western Hemisphere.
The full moon reaches peak illumination at 2:55 a.m. ET on Friday, March 14. The total lunar eclipse will make the moon appear red on Thursday, March 13 into the following day, depending on the time zone, according to NASA.
The moon will exit from Earth’s full shadow between 3:31 and 4:48 a.m., and will leave the last of the partial shadow at 6 a.m., ending lunar eclipse.
