There was an opportunity Thursday night to catch the March 2025 "Blood Moon," a phenomenon that colors the full moon in shades of red, orange and yellow during a total lunar eclipse.

Earth’s shadow will block most of the light that illuminates the lunar surface, creating what is known as a blood moon.

A blood moon is set to begin tonight as Earth orbits directly between the sun and the moon. The orange-red moon phenomenon, scientifically called a total lunar eclipse, is set to peak around 2 a.m. Friday as seen from Brandon.
