9 Things to See with Binoculars from February to April 2025 The Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse
The total lunar eclipse on March 13-14 is a great target for binoculars.
The lunar surface itself is a great target for binoculars, with dark areas and ancient lava fields known as maria easily visible. You can view the Moon at any time—best shortly after sunset between new and full moons—but don’t miss the total lunar eclipse on March 13–14, 2025, if you’re in North or South America. At that time, the lunar surface will turn a reddish-pink for about 65 minutes (hence the term “blood moon”).
