What time is the March 2025 total lunar eclipse in North America?
Lunar eclipses are global events that occur at the same time for everyone. This one will happen between 03:57 and 10:00 UTC on Friday, March 14, 2025, with the spectacular 65-minute-long totality — when the entire lunar surface will be reddish — happening between 06:26 and 07:31 UTC. That translates to the following local times in North America:
2:26 to 3:31 a.m. EDT on Friday, March 14, 2025
1:26 to 2:31 a.m. CDT on Friday, March 14, 2025
12:26 to 1:31 a.m. MDT on Friday, March 14, 2025
11:26 p.m. PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025, to 12:31 a.m. on Friday, March 14, 2025
10:26 p.m. to 11:31 p.m. AKDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025
8:26 p.m. to 9:31 p.m. HST on Thursday, March 13, 2025
These are the times for totality only. However, it's worth looking at the moon 75 minutes before these times to see the edge of Earth's shadow inch across the lunar surface during the partial phases (and vice versa after totality).
Much better, thanks for the improved formatting!
[[2:26 to 3:31 a.m. ]]
