Total Lunar Eclipse 2026: Blood Moon Visible Across India and Other Regions on March 3

On March 3, 2026, a total lunar eclipse, known as a Blood Moon, will occur, turning the Moon a copper-red color due to Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight. This event will be visible across many regions including India, where northeastern states will see the Moon rise already eclipsed, while other areas will witness partial phases. The eclipse coincides with Holi in India and lasts about 58 minutes globally. Viewing is safe without special equipment, and the next visible lunar eclipse in India will be in 2028.
