Earth will align between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow onto the lunar surface and turning it a deep reddish-orange. This phenomenon, often called a 'Blood Moon,' will be visible on the evening of March 2 in East Asia and Australia, throughout the night in the Pacific Ocean, and in the early morning of March 3 in North America, Central America, and far western South America. The phase of totality will begin at 11:04 UTC and end at 12:03 UTC.
