The following total lunar eclipse, according to **NASA**, won't occur until March 14, 2025. The moon will initially grow smaller and darker as it passes into Earth's shadow before developing a reddish tinge. The [United States](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2228/the-united-states-claims-seagate-broke-export-laws-by-selling-huawei-hard-drives) will be able to see totality, or when the moon is entirely hidden by Earth's shadow, for more than an hour and a half. The moon will start to move toward the edge of the shadow that the Earth casts at 3:02 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. **NASA** predicts that as it moves forward, the partial eclipse will appear to be consuming the lunar disc. Totality will occur in the early hours of **5:17 to 6:42 Eastern Daylight Time.** At this time, the moon will be a coppery crimson. Residents of Hawaii and Alaska will be able to see the complete skywatching event as it unfolds, weather permitting. In contrast to solar eclipses, a lunar eclipse is safe to view with the naked eye. For more magnificent views, skywatchers can even utilise binoculars and telescopes. In order to take pictures, use a camera on a tripod, NASA representatives advised. The next total lunar eclipse won't occur until March 2025, however there will be a **penumbral lunar eclipse** in May of the following year, followed by a partial lunar eclipse in October of that year. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2308/how-to-view-the-entire-lunar-eclipse-on-tuesday-s-blood-moon Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
