On March 13-14, 2025, a total lunar eclipse or "blood moon" will be visible across the Americas and beyond. Here are some odd things to know about it.

A total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon thanks to the red or orange tinge it takes on from sunlight filtering through our planet's atmosphere. "It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon," NASA said. The color effect can be subtle, so don't expect a moon that's as red as a Corvette.

Anyone who managed to be awake in the early hours of Friday morning (and remembered to look at the moon) had a chance to see this year's total lunar eclipse. Here's a look at what some social media users saw and their comments about last night's lunar event.
