The most spectacular images of the eclipse of the "Blood Moon"

The March night sky offered a shocking astronomical spectacle: the so-called Bloodworm Moon or "Blood Moon," a phenomenon that combines the March Full Moon with a total lunar eclipse. The event occurred in the early morning hours of March 14, 2025, when the Moon passed through the Earth's shadow, acquiring a characteristic reddish hue, known as a "Blood Moon."

Places where the "Blood Moon" was visible

The eclipse was visible in the United States, Mexico, Central America and part of South America. The total phase began on March 14 at 2:26 EDT, peaked at 2:59 EDT and concluded at 3:31 EDT, according to NASA data.

What happens to the moon in an eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon align perfectly, causing our planet to cast its shadow on the Moon. In this phenomenon, the satellite passes through the darkest region of the Earth's shadow, giving it a characteristic reddish color.

Photographers around the world captured the eclipse

The event was one of the last total lunar eclipses visible in the region for several years. The last time a similar phenomenon occurred was in 2022, and the next one will not be repeated until 2028.

Why is it called a Worm Moon?

The term Worm Moon comes from the traditional designations that various Native American tribes assigned to the March Full Moon. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, these communities named full moons after natural events associated with each month.
