Although Mexico City has plenty of concerts, exhibitions, and immersive experiences, the real shows are in the sky. Proof of this is the amazing total lunar eclipse that will be visible in different parts of the country. According to experts, this is one of the most important astronomical events of 2026.
This phenomenon will occur during the early hours of March 3, beginning at 2:45 a.m. and reaching its peak around 5:00 a.m. This natural spectacle will end at 8:23 a.m.
If you plan to get up early to see the eclipse, you should know that it is not necessary to use any type of filter. It is worth getting up early to enjoy this unique moment!
Remember that lunar eclipses occur when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment will cause the Moon to turn dark red! Get your camera ready and prepare to experience an unforgettable moment under the Blood Moon.
It should be noted that there are three types of eclipses: partial, penumbral, and total; the latter stands out for its beauty. Star Walk states:
The eclipse and the Worm Moon
A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon; March’s full moon is known as the Worm Moon and will coincide with the Blood Moon (the eclipse). The moon will be located in the constellation Leo.
This phenomenon will be the only one of its kind in 2026 and will be visible in South America and Central Asia. In fact, you will be able to see its maximum phase in central Mexico. The next total lunar eclipse will not be until 2028, so don’t miss this natural spectacle… Look up, because you will witness something wonderful!
