Buddy, I realized I typed wrong, and I already corrected over there>>>
And then, we are starting the week of the crescent moon and the next one
the moon will be full, but what intrigues me is the full moon on March 3rd,
which will be red and with an eclipse.
Well, what I understood is that due to the position that the sunlight will illuminate the Moon,
it will pass through the Earth's atmosphere, and this refraction caused in the light
is what makes us see the red moon, but there will still be a total eclipse.
The Next Lunar Eclipse: Night Of The Red Moon 2026!
Love sky events? Mark your calendar for
Tuesday, March 3, 2026 to catch the Moon turning red during a total lunar eclipse.
The best views in the United States will be on the West Coast and Hawaii.
Luckily, you won’t need binoculars or telescopes to see it
(and unlike an eclipse of the Sun, no eye protection will be needed).
Here is everything you need to know about the Red Moon 2026,
including US dates and times:
Man In The Moon Gets Red In The Face!
You might expect the Moon to completely disappear from view when it becomes
immersed in the Earth’s shadow, but it doesn’t. Instead, you may see the Moon
turning red during this darkest phase of the eclipse. This is because some of the
sunlight striking our Earth is diffused and scattered by our atmosphere,
the Earth’s shadow is not totally dark. Near the horizon, at sunrise and sunset
we see red and orange colorations. Enough of this light reaches the Moon
to give it a faint coppery glow—even when it is totally eclipsed.
Depending on the state of our atmosphere during totality, the Moon might
resemble a shiny new penny or glow softly with hues of brick red, or chocolate brown.

A Sight For Billions
Billions of people will get a chance to see the “Red Moon 2026.”
I t may come as a surprise to learn that eclipses of the Moon are less frequent than eclipses of the Sun. Yet, because they have a much larger viewing range, total eclipses of the Moon are more commonly observed.(...)
- While here it is tropics, and I do not have the privilege of seeing either
Aurora boreallis or less australlis,
I have to be satisfied with lunar and astronomical events.
...but I'm also aware that coronary mass ejections have been very active lately...
