A “Blood Moon” is rising on March 2–3, 2026. 🌘 The last total lunar eclipse for nearly 3 years will be visible to nearly 2.5 billion people as Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon. During totality from 11:04 to 12:02 UTC, sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red wavelengths to reach the Moon, giving it that signature copper glow. No eclipse glasses required. #LunarEclipse #Astronomy #BloodMoon #Space #Science | Museum of Science, Boston
