Millions of people across North America, South America, and parts of Europe and Asia were treated to a rare total lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026. The full “ Worm Moon ” slipped into the Earth’s shadow, turning a coppery red during totality. New Yorkers saw the eclipse begin at 3:44 a.m., with the moon fully immersed in Earth’s shadow by 6:04 a.m.

Tonight, 03 March 2026, India watches the last total lunar eclipse until 2029 as the Moon turns deep red. Why is this brief Blood Moon such a rare and unmissable spectacle?
