Witness the Lunar Blood Moon over the Adirondacks on March 14, 2025

Lunar Eclipse: Watching the night sky will remind you how amazing our world really is.

Mar 13-14, 2025

A total lunar eclipse will begin around midnight on Thursday, March 13, 2025. Total eclipse of the moon will occur around 3:00 a.m. on Friday, March, 14, 2025 and ending around 6:00 a.m. Friday, March 14th.  This breathtaking celestial event is called a Lunar Blood Moon. As the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, its shadow will cast a deep red hue over the lunar surface, creating a mesmerizing spectacle in the dark Adirondack skies.

Find the exact timing for your community here.

Where to watch: Find an outdoor space to enjoy, be safely away from roads and light pollution.

The Adirondacks are one of the best places in the Northeast to experience this celestial event, thanks to their vast wilderness, minimal light pollution, and expansive dark skies. Away from city lights, the moon’s dramatic transformation will be visible in all its glory, making for a truly unforgettable stargazing experience.

Preparation 

• Dress warmly.
• Bring warm drinks, blankets, or chairs.
• Try to minimize light in your vicinity.
• Find a spot where your line of sight won't be obstructed by tall buildings or trees.

Equipment

• No special equipment is necessary.
• Binoculars or a small telescope can enhance the experience by revealing details on the moon's surface.

Viewing

• A lunar eclipse can last several hours, but the period of totality usually only lasts an hour or so.
• Don't miss your chance to experience the mystery and beauty of the universe from the heart of the Adirondacks. According to NASA, another total lunar eclipse won't be visible in the U.S. until March 2026, making this a rare opportunity to witness one of nature's most stunning phenomena.

What to Expect

The following video provides an overview of the Moon's appearance as it passes through Earth's shadow during the March 2025 total lunar eclipse. Note: The times in this video are not in Eastern Standard Time. Find the exact timing for your community here.
