Stargazers who looked up at the sky last night and early this morning might have spotted the March 2025 "Blood Moon," a total lunar eclipse that colored the moon in shades of red, orange and yellow.
March's full moon is called the "Worm Moon," according to the Farmer's Almanac, which has documented the history of how full moons are named. Moons that take on these reddish hues during a total lunar eclipse are called "Blood Moons." The combined nicknames have resulted in some calling it the "Blood Worm Moon."
The moon rose in its totality early Friday, and is expected to be visible through Saturday morning, according to NASA. Pictures captured during the event on Friday show the strangely colored lunar body large in the sky as it passed through the Earth's shadow.
