No time? blue News summarizes for you

  • On March 14, there will be a full moon with a total lunar eclipse.
  • In Switzerland, where the weather permitted, the total lunar eclipse was only partially visible.
  • North and South America in particular have the best view of the total lunar eclipse.

During a total lunar eclipse, the celestial body does not shine bright white, but reddish. This is because the surface of the moon is colored by long-wave red parts of the sunlight. This is why the celestial phenomenon is also known as a blood moon.

While only a partial lunar eclipse was visible in Switzerland, observers in Chile were luckier. The inhabitants of Santiago, for example, can observe the blood moon for around six hours. NASA has published a map showing exactly where the lunar eclipse can be seen on March 13 and 14, 2025.
