In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 3, a total lunar eclipse will pass over the United States and it will be seen in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, Lake Park and Juno Beach.
The “blood moon” eclipse will cause the moon to exhibit a reddish hue, according to NASA. It will be visible in parts of the world beginning in the evening and going into the early morning, NASA said.
The moon will slip entirely through Earth’s shadow – the umbra – and turn a ghostly copper color.
The total lunar eclipse in March 2026, weather permitting, will be visible across much of North America and South America and many regions beyond, including Europe and the United Kingdom. It also will be visible to all of Florida.
In Florida, we can best see this natural phenomenon between 3:44 and 6:30 a.m. EST.

What is a total lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow across the lunar surface, which turns the moon’s color reddish-orange. Our planet blocks most of the sun’s light from reaching the moon, but the Earth’s movement during the eclipse will cause the natural satellite to develop a color.
The moon typically exhibits a grey color because light that reaches the lunar surface is often filtered through Earth’s atmosphere.
It’s only possible to observe an eclipse during a full moon phase, according to NASA. An eclipse can be observed from anywhere with a direct view of the natural satellite.
What else is visible during an eclipse?
An eclipse can also make stars and constellations more visible. During the upcoming eclipse, the moon will be in the constellation Leo under the lion’s hind paws, according to NASA.
Venus and Saturn will also appear closer to each other in the night sky on March 8.
