March 3, 2026 Total Lunar Eclipse On the early evening of March 3, 2026, there will be a total lunar eclipse that will be visible in the Philippines as well as Asia, Australia , Pacific and most of the American continent. The Moon will enter the Earth's light shadow (penumbra) at around 4:44pm (PST) and Earth's dark shadow (umbra) at around 5:50pm (PST) when the moon is still below horizon. Moonrise will be around 5:58pm (PST) when a small part of the Moon is already eclipsed. The umbral phase will continue to progress until 07:05pm (PST) when it enters totality phase with the Moon situated 15 deg above the eastern horizon. Maximum totality phase will occur at around 7:34pm (PST) with the Moon 22 deg high. Totality phase ends at around 8:03pm (PST) with the Moon rising above 29 deg above the eastern horizon already. Afterwards, Moon will start to slowly exits the Earth's dark shadow at around 9:17pm (PST). Moon will finally exits the umbral shadow at 10:23pm (PST) with the Moon 61 deg high above the eastern horizon ending the lunar eclipse. Eclipse circumstances are as follows:
Since this eclipse is shallow, the Moon will be bright enough to capture even without a motorized tracking mount. Good luck to all and clear skies! Below is my totality image taken last September 7, 2025 at maximum totality phase.
