A total lunar eclipse will take place on March 3. The Moon will turn deep red during totality. This event is called a “Blood Moon.” It happens when Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight. Only red light reaches the Moon.   The eclipse will be visible in parts of Asia, Australia and the Americas. In India, the final phase will be seen around sunset. The total phase will last about 58 minutes. Lunar eclipses are safe to watch with naked eyes. Binoculars or a small telescope can give a better view. (PC: Unsplash)
