Lunar Eclipse March 3, 2026: View from Florida

Photographer: "Total lunar eclipse of 3/3/2026 at Moonset over the Gulf, just before sunrise from Tarpon Springs, Florida." 

Lunar eclipses occur at the full Moon phase. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the lunar surface a striking red over the course of a few hours. Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth.
