Rare ‘Blood Moon’ Lunar Eclipse: What you need to know in Florida
The night sky will be illuminated by a rare and stunning celestial event on March 13 and 14, 2025 – a total lunar eclipse, also known as a “Blood Moon.” This phenomenon will be visible across much of the Americas, Europe, and the UK, including the Sunshine State of Florida.
During the eclipse, the moon will slip entirely through Earth’s shadow, turning a ghostly copper color. This natural spectacle is the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022 and is sure to captivate skywatchers around the world.
In Florida, the best time to witness this breathtaking event is just before 3 a.m. EST. The eclipse will be visible in various cities across the state, with max viewing times ranging from 2:58 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. ET.
For those unable to witness the eclipse in person, NASA and timeanddate.com will be hosting a livestream of the event on YouTube and Facebook Watch, allowing viewers to experience the magic from the comfort of their own homes.
So mark your calendars and set your alarms for the night of March 13, 2025, to witness the beauty of the Blood Moon lunar eclipse in Florida. It’s a celestial event you won’t want to miss!
