Earth experiences several types of eclipses as it circumnavigates its sun in the solar system. Some common. Some extraordinarily rare.

The phenomenon of a Full Moon arises when our planet, Earth, is precisely sandwiched between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment ensures the entire side of the Moon that faces us gleams under sunlight.

A total lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon," will be visible on March 2-3. The event will be last total lunar eclipse until late 2028. The eclipse can be safely viewed with the naked eye; however, rain and cloudy conditions could limit visibility.
