Catch the Next Total Lunar Eclipse in 2026
The next total lunar eclipse visible from North America will occur in March 2026. This celestial event promises to turn the moon a dramatic reddish hue, creating a spectacular sight for skywatchers and photographers alike. Total lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that gives the moon its distinctive red color.
