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:
When Is The ‘Worm Moon’ and Total Lunar Eclipse?
The Worm Moon will reach its full phase at 2:56 a.m. EST on Friday, March 14, 2025, and will be best seen rising in the east later that evening. The total lunar eclipse will be visible across the globe during the overnight hours of Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14, 2025.
