This should excite Leftists, will they sing ‘The People’s Moon is Deepest Red?”

On Friday, March 14, the Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow across the Moon’s surface and turning it a deep red for just over an hour.

The total eclipse will begin between 8:00 and 8:30 PM NZT and will end around 9:45 PM.

To catch it, we’re relying on clear skies around the country.

What makes it special?

The last total lunar eclipse happened in 2022, coinciding with a Super Blood Moon.

Before that, it had been nearly 40 years since New Zealanders saw a Blood Super Moon – which happens when a total lunar eclipse aligns with a Super Moon (when the Moon is closest to Earth).

While this one isn’t quite as rare, it’ll still be an surreal sight, especially if you catch its deep red hue with the naked eye.
