The first lunar eclipse of 2026 will be a total lunar eclipse and the last one we’ll witness for some time. On Tuesday, March 3, the full ‘Worm Moon’ will be completely shrouded in Earth’s shadow, causing it to transform into a picturesque ‘Blood Moon’, and although we’ll get to enjoy a partial lunar eclipse in August, we won’t witness a total lunar eclipse again until the end of 2028 on New Year’s Eve.
Unfortunately, the show-stopping celestial event won’t be visible in Europe or Africa. However, according to NASA’s Visibility Map, it will be visible – at least in part – in Asia, the Americas, and Australia. As far as the latter two regions are concerned, North America, Central America, and some parts of western South America will get to experience totality (not necessarily the whole duration), as well as the entirety of Australia.
