A total lunar eclipse will take place on Thursday, 14 March 2025, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2025. The Moon will take place near apogee during this eclipse, making it appear smaller than usual. The second eclipse will take place on 7-8 September 2025, happening near apogee. Occurring only 3.4 days before apogee (Apogee on 17 March 2025), the Lunas apparent diameter will be 5.4% smaller than average.
This lunar eclipse marks the beginning of another tetrad, with 3 total lunar eclipses and a deep partial lunar eclipse (greater than 90%), with others being 07 Sep 2025 (T), 03 Mar 2026 (T) and 28 Aug 2026 (P).
It will be completely visible from the Americas, will be seen rising over New Zealand and eastern Asia, and setting over western Europe and western Africa.
It last occurred on March 3, 2007 and will next occur on 25 March 2043.
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[1] Related to Solar Saros 130.
