The final full moon of winter, the Worm Moon, will rise on Friday, March 14, 2025, appearing on the eastern horizon at dusk. However, this year’s full moon coincides with a rare celestial event that hasn't been seen in almost three years: a total lunar eclipse. As Earth's dark umbral shadow fully envelops the moon from Thursday, March 13 to Friday, March 14, it will take on a dramatic reddish hue, known as a "blood moon," for 65 minutes.
Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy both the rising full moon and the stunning total lunar eclipse:
