Totality will begin around 2:30 a.m. and last around one hour.The final phase of the eclipse will end around 6 a.m.It does not require any special eyewear to view the lunar eclipse.NASA recommends viewing the lunar eclipse in a dark environment, away from bright lights for the best viewing experience.The eclipse will be visible across the United States and other parts of the Western Hemisphere.If you aren't able to catch this one, you won't have to wait too long until the next total lunar eclipse is visible in Ohio.On March 3, 2026, another total lunar eclipse will be visible from Ohio. Just a few months later, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible on Aug. 27-28, 2026.After that, our next total lunar eclipse won't happen again until June 2029.<h2>What is a total lunar eclipse?</h2>During a total lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the inner part of the Earth's shadow, known as the umbra. Initially the moon will appear to have a bite taken out of one side but as the eclipse nears its peak, the moon will take on a coppery tint — granting it the name "blood moon." After the eclipse reaches its maximum, the process plays out in reverse and the reddish hue will slowly fade until the moon returns to normal. Eclipses always come in pairs, meaning a solar eclipse will follow a few weeks after the total lunar eclipse. The next partial solar eclipse will only be visible from Eastern Canada, Greenland and Northern Europe, <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/whats-up-march-2025-skywatching-tips-from-nasa/">NASA says.</a><h2>Why does the moon turn red during a lunar eclipse?</h2>The moon appears to turn crimson thanks to the same process that makes our skies blue and our sunsets red, <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/moon/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-march-2025-total-lunar-eclipse/#h-what-is-a-lunar-eclipse">NASA says.</a> When sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, blue light scatters more easily while red light travels more directly through the air. During a lunar eclipse, some of the sunlight passes all the way through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the moon's surface, giving it a subtle glow.</div></body>
