Witness the Rare Blood Moon on March 3

On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the moon will slip entirely into Earth’s shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse, often called a “Blood Moon.” During this rare event, sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere bends and casts a reddish glow across the full moon, turning the night sky into a dramatic, otherworldly canvas.

The eclipse will be partially visible in Nepal, with the moon rising already in eclipse over the horizon. While the totality occurs earlier in global time zones, Nepalis can enjoy the final phases of the eclipse in the evening for 82 minutes. For the best view, head somewhere with a clear, unobstructed skyline, away from city lights.

This will be one of the last total lunar eclipses visible from Earth until late 2028, making it a must-watch for astronomy enthusiasts.

Whether you’re a casual skywatcher or a dedicated astronomy fan, March 3 promises a night where the cosmos paints in bold, unforgettable strokes.
