The March 2025 total lunar eclipse should be visible tonight as what's called the "Blood Moon" shines over New York City and the suburbs of Long Island, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey.Here's what to know about when and where to try to catch a glimpse.

The rare Blood Moon total lunar eclipse started lighting up the sky late Thursday with a bright full Moon. Why it matters: It's the only lunar eclipse visible from the U.S. this year and the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022. Photos captured around the world late Thursday show a bright and illuminating Moon.

The coming March 13-14 total lunar eclipse promises to be spectacular — if the weather permits. This "blood moon" — the first to grace Earth's skies since 2022 — will be visible to people in the lower 48 states and greater Americas unless clouds get in the way.
