This reddish hue occurs because Earth\u2019s atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths while allowing red and orange light to reach the moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The totality phase, when the moon is entirely immersed in Earth\u2019s shadow and displays its characteristic red color, will last approximately 65 minutes. The entire eclipse, from the beginning of the penumbral phase to the end, will span just over six hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Key times for the U.S. East Coast<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Penumbral Eclipse Begins<\/strong>:\u00a011:57 p.m. EDT on March 13<br \/>\n<strong>Partial Eclipse Begins<\/strong>:\u00a01:09 a.m. EDT on March 14<br \/>\n<strong>Total Eclipse Begins<\/strong>:\u00a02:26 a.m. EDT<br \/>\n<strong>Maximum Eclipse<\/strong>:\u00a02:58 a.m. EDT<br \/>\n<strong>Total Eclipse Ends<\/strong>:\u00a03:31 a.m. EDT<br \/>\n<strong>Partial Eclipse Ends<\/strong>:\u00a04:47 a.m. EDT<br \/>\n<strong>Penumbral Eclipse Ends<\/strong>:\u00a06:00 a.m. EDT<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Unlike solar eclipses, viewing a lunar eclipse requires no special glasses or equipment, though binoculars or a telescope can enhance the experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, and Mexico, as well as in parts of South America, western Europe, and western Africa.\u00a0\u201cAs long as the sky is clear, you should be able to see it,\u201d Shannon Schmoll, director of Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This event marks the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022, making it noteworthy for casual observers and astronomy enthusiasts alike.
