“The best thing about a lunar eclipse is that it’s beautiful. The Moon during totality will turn shades of orange and red and brown; it’s being hit by all of the sunrises and sunsets being projected from the Earth.”
Hear all about the March 13-14, 2025 lunar eclipse from NASA scientific visualizer Ernie Wright!
Video description:
0:00 The Moon. As time progresses, a reddish shadow passes over its surface, from the 7 o'clock region until the entire Moon is bright red.
0:07 A satellite image of North and South America at night, lit by tiny glowing lights. March 13-14, 2025 is written across the top. Along the bottom, the Moon goes through the same eclipse as in the previous shot.
0:13 Ernie Wright, Lunar Scientific Visualizer talks to the camera.
0:16 Conceptual animation of Earth passing between the Moon and the Sun, with its shadow crossing the Moon's surface.
0:24 The lunar eclipse, this time seen from a distance, among a starry sky.
0:36 Ernie talking.
0:42 Ernie seen from the side, gesturing with his hands to indicate the Moon and Earth's relative positions.
0:49 Ernie talking to the camera.
1:02 The lunar eclipse, this time seen from a stationary camera, as the Moon passes from the upper right corner down to the lower left.
1:16 A previous lunar eclipse, with the pinkish red shadow darker in the 10 o'clock region. The camera zooms into the Moon and then pans across its surface.
