A complete lunar eclipse will be viewable from areas of North America on March 2-3, but viewing is not assured for all; daylight or cloud cover may hinder your sight, based on where you are, and the moon’s proximity to the horizon during the eclipse could also create difficulties.
Fortunately, irrespective of your location on the globe, you’re still able to view the “blood moon” via online streaming to enjoy the 58 minutes of total lunar immersion, when the moon transits completely into Earth’s profound umbral shadow and becomes red.

The entire lunar eclipse on March 2-3 — from the moment Earth’s peripheral shadow starts to drift across the moon until it fully clears — extends for approximately 5.5 hours, beginning at 3:44 a.m. and wrapping up at 9:23 a.m. EST Tuesday (March 3), according to Time and Date. By playing webcasts on your mobile, tablet, and/or computer, you’re able to switch between various regions of North America, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and East Asia.
Access to web-based broadcasts will be especially crucial for those observing from Europe, Africa, and most of Asia — where the eclipse will be entirely out of sight — or those in the eastern zones of North America. From the Midwest stretching to the West Coast in North America, viewers can enjoy seeing the eclipsed moon above the western skyline. However, for much of the East Coast, the moon may begin its descent just as it approaches totality.
LIVE: Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) – March 2–3, 2026 – YouTube
Watch On Time and Date
As a dependable livestreamer for all types of eclipses, the Timeanddate.com crew will once again offer live feeds from around the globe. Hosts Graham Jones and Anne Buckle will be presenting, as per usual. They’ll be accompanied this time by Preethi Krishnamoorthy and Avinash Surendran, known as the Starry Knights, who will be broadcasting from Hawaii, along with additional feeds from Perth Observatory in Australia and the website’s mobile observation site close to Los Angeles.
TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE | MARCH 3, 2026 | GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY – YouTube
Watch On Griffith Observatory
Tune in to the broadcast coming from Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles from 12:47 a.m. to 6:25 a.m. PST on March 3, contingent upon weather conditions. Further details about this broadcast can be discovered on their webpage. The viewpoint from Griffith is expected to be among the finest across North America, perfectly arranged to show the entire phenomenon from the start to its conclusion, particularly anywhere in California. (Please be aware, this is strictly an online event, with no public access on-site.)
The Virtual Telescope Project
Astrophysicist Gianluca Masi, who established The Virtual Telescope Project, will oversee a broadcast of live footage derived from astro-imagers streaming ongoing views of the full lunar eclipse from around the planet, starting at 3:30 a.m. EST. North American coverage will encompass live streams originating from Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, and Montreal, while locations in Australia will present views captured from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia.
Listed here are the times scheduled for lunar totality:
- Eastern time: 6:04-7:02 a.m. EST on March 3 (in most areas, moonset occurs during totality)
- Central time: 5:04-6:02 a.m. CST on March 3
- Mountain time: 4:04-5:02 a.m. MST on March 3
- Pacific time: 3:04-4:02 a.m. PST on March 3
- Alaska time: 2:04-3:02 a.m. AKST on March 3
