The total lunar eclipse isn't the only thing coming this month. A partial solar eclipse is set to appear in skies later in March.

Skywatchers across America will have the opportunity to see a total lunar eclipse next week if the weather cooperates.

As the countdown to the year's first total lunar eclipse begins, here's what to know about the difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse.

This month, a total lunar eclipse and blood moon will be viewable across the U.S. Here's the best times and places to view the eclipse in Mississippi.

The March event is a total lunar eclipse thanks to the positions of the sun, Earth and moon in relation to each other. Earth will drape its shadow over the moon until the moon is blanketed by the darkest part of the shadow. This doesn't blot out the moon, but it creates a change in its color.

NASA says the eclipse will begin late on Thursday and it should be over before the sun rises on Friday morning.

The moon will appear a striking reddish color in a few weeks when a magnificent total lunar eclipse becomes visible all across the United States.

A lunar eclipse is an alignment of the Earth, moon and sun where the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, or umbra. As it does, the moon will appear to darken and take on a crimson shade of red.

The blood moon, known for its red hue, is described as "if all the world’s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon."

The upcoming lunar eclipse will be the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022. Will it be visible in Wisconsin?
