The entirety of the lower 48 states, the greater Americas, and some regions beyond will witness — weather permitting — a total lunar eclipse the night of March 13 and into the early morning of March 14. This special cosmic event occurs when the moon, Earth, and sun are aligned. Long, red wavelengths of light pass through Earth's atmosphere and are projected onto the moon in majestic rusty or crimson colors.
The coming total lunar eclipse, now less than a month away, is the first to grace Earth since 2022.

Got it marked on my calendar now. Thanks for the heads up.
Not to be confused with Moon Bloodgood
Now I just have to convince people they need to use welding goggles or their leftover solar eclipse glasses to watch it.
Remember a few years ago when we had a series of blood moons or something like that? People were writing books about how that presaged all kinds of things that never happened, of course.
Dramatic
Been there done it.
Like watching paint dry.

Yes well, people don’t do the human sacrifice at midnight anymore. That’s always livened things up.
Now they’re just on their phones playing candy crush.
My then 14 year old grandson found the January 2019 eclipse exciting.
Human sacrifice at the lunar eclipse..
Hmmmm.
I can understand the need for entertainment. However dancing 💃 girls or torch singers would work as well!
...or baloon mood...
;^)
IIRC-—THE CURRENT CR expires on 3-14.
Ping
Isn’t that caused by the sun coming between the earth and the moon? ;-D

Picture of the Bad stuff that happened to Gaza. Not the fault of the moon, its because Hamas is a criminal organization that likes to kill and rape. (What real religion tell its votaries that its OK to kill and rape? None.)
Like John Hagee in 2015.
It’ll be going on mine as well.
Yeah the moon turns a bit copper coloured and that is about it. Now a total solar eclipse on the other hand is dramatic. The difference is like night and day.
Should that ever occur we’d have some real ultra serious global warming to speak of. :)
