India, March 3 -- A rare and spectacular total lunar eclipse, often called a Blood Moon, will light up the sky on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. During this event, Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a deep red shadow on the lunar surface.

The eclipse will be visible across nearly the entire United States in the early morning hours, making it a must-see celestial event for skywatchers and astronomy fans alike. Unlike solar eclipses, a lunar eclipse is completely safe to view with the naked eye.
