The next total lunar eclipse is March 3, 2026 – and we’re already over the moon.
Why is it worth celebrating? The moon will pass completely through the Earth’s shadow – the umbra – and turn a ghostly copper color.
In March 2026, a total lunar eclipse will be visible across much of North and South America, as well as many other areas including Europe and the UK. It can also be seen in the Sunshine State (at night, of course!).
In Florida, we can see this natural phenomenon between 3:44 and 6:30 AM EST.
