Bhubaneswar, March 2 -- A spectacular total lunar eclipse will take place on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, offering skywatchers across multiple continents a chance to witness one of the most dramatic celestial events of the year.

This will be a deep total lunar eclipse, with a magnitude of 1.155, meaning the Moon will pass completely into the Earth's dark central shadow (umbra).

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon moves into the Earth's umbral shadow. During this phase, the Moon often takes on a reddish or coppery hue - popularly known as a "Blood Moon."

In contrast, a partial lunar eclipse happens when only a portion of the Moon enters the Earth's shadow.
