The March 2025 total lunar eclipse should be visible Thursday night as what's called the "Blood Moon" shines over New York City and the suburbs of Long Island, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey.Here's what to know about when and where to try to catch a glimpse.

As the Full Worm Moon rose overnight, skywatchers across the Americas turned their eyes — and their cameras — toward the sky. Over several hours, Earth's shadow slowly crept across the lunar surface, turning our celestial neighbor into a deep, blood-red orb.

According to Dr. Angela Speck, a professor of astrophysics and department chair for physics and astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio, the "blood moon" total lunar eclipse was visible across the U.S. and no special equipment was necessary to view it.
