The March 2025 total lunar eclipse brought a "Blood Moon" overnight, but it was too cloudy to see over NYC, Long Island and N.J.

As the moon reflects the sun's light, the shadow dims the moon's glow. During the peak of a total lunar eclipse, the moon takes on a bit of a reddish hue as any leftover sunlight making it to the moon's surface is scattered by our earth's atmosphere.

Sometimes sleep takes priority over cool celestial events. Luckily, you can catch a partial solar eclipse this month and a blood moon again in 2026.
