A partial lunar eclipse will occur on the night of March 24-25, followed less than three weeks later by a total solar eclipse on April 8, when the Moon blocks our luminary. Thousands of people will watch these astronomical events, but both eclipses will be best viewed from North America.

In order not to upset other inhabitants of the Earth, NASA experts presented several images: They show how these astronomical events will look from the surface of the Moon and the International Space Station.

When viewed from the Moon or from space in general, the eclipse will appear as a dark spot on the Earth’s surface moving at about 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) per hour. If you were on the moon when this happened, you wouldn’t notice much of a difference; When the near side of the moon was in its 14-day night, it would cast a sinuous shadow on the blue marble adjacent to sea and land.

Therefore, if you ever go to the moon, you should hope that there will be a total lunar eclipse on Earth and your surroundings will be red. The next total lunar eclipse will occur next March. The next one will occur in September 2025 with the launch of Artemis II. Although astronauts won’t be landing on this mission, it would be great if they were around the moon during the eclipse.
