In Baku, Azerbaijan, the Worm Moon will rise on March 14, 2025, following a stunning total lunar eclipse visible from 11:26 a.m. to 12:31 p.m. AZT
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:
