Total Lunar Eclipse March 13, 2025

 A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly into the dark inner shadow, or umbra, cast by the Earth. 

On March 13, one hundred percent of the round disk of the full Moon slowly moves into the dark shadow, and the bright Moon grows dim. 

The Moon does not, however, become completely dark. Instead, it usually glows with a copper or red color, a result of sunlight being filtered and bent through the Earth’s atmosphere (much like a sunset).

Total Lunar Eclipse Broadcast - March 13, 2025 - Griffith Observatory - Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos!  Live online broadcast of the total lunar eclipse on March 13-14 from 8:50 p.m. to 3:05 a.m., PDT, weather permitting.

If skies are clear, the eclipse will be visible to the unaided eye from anywhere in continental United States. The lunar eclipse may be seen easily with the unaided eye, though telescopes or binoculars may enhance the view. It is safe to view a lunar eclipse without any eye protection. Just go outside and look up to the southeast.

The next total lunar eclipse visible in Los Angeles will occur on March 3-4, 2026.
