Here are some tips for capturing the striking reddish moon on March 3. But if you don't get the perfect picture, don't worry.
A total lunar eclipse will dazzle Earth's skies in the early morning hours on March 3, turning the moon a reddish orange hue.
During the event, Earth is positioned between the moon and sun, casting Earth's shadow on the surface of the moon, causing it to appear a red color.
Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth, and this time, that half will include the United States. In North America, a partial eclipse will begin around 4 a.m. ET. Totality will start just after 6 a.m. ET, continuing for roughly an hour, according to NASA.
The phenomenon, which is sometimes called a blood moon, makes for a striking viewing experience. For those who are looking to catch a glimpse of the eclipse on camera, here's what to know.
