Early on Friday, March 14, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in the Americas, Europe and most of Africa.

All its phases can be observed while the Moon transits in front of the Leo and Virgo constellations, they said.

At the maximum of the eclipse our natural satellite should not be distinguished, since it will not receive direct sunlight, said Cuban meteorologist Luis E. Ramos in social networks.

However, its surface will be weakly illuminated by the aureole formed by our atmosphere around the Earth, while the Sun’s rays pass through the layers of air of higher density.

Then, the Moon will take on a reddish appearance, due to the dispersion of light, as occurs at twilight, the specialist explained.

First to be seen in three years, the total eclipse will be visible all over the planet. In 2025, there will not be a total solar eclipse in 2025, but there will be two total lunar eclipses.

The first one this March and the next one on September 7-8, which will be visible from Europe, Russia, Asia, Australia, Africa and Antarctica.
