Did you miss last night’s blood moon lunar eclipse or just want to relive it? These photos captured the celestial event perfectly.
March’s blood moon lunar eclipse was a celestial masterpiece. All across the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere, stargazers stayed up late—or woke up early—to witness the moon bathed in a deep crimson glow. If you missed it, don’t worry; we’ve gathered some of the most stunning photos from this rare event so you can relive the magic.
This eclipse wasn’t just beautiful. It was long-lasting and widely visible. The event began at 11:57 p.m. EDT on March 13 and lasted until 6 a.m. EDT on March 14. The real show started at 2:26 a.m. EDT, though, when totality began, giving skywatchers over an hour of breathtaking views.
