March's "Worm Moon" will turn blood-red in the hours just before sunrise. Even though I’ve witnessed total lunar eclipses before, there’s something eerily magical about getting up early just to see the Moon bathed in red during this special celestial event.

What Happens During a Total Lunar Eclipse?

During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and Moon casting its eerie red shadow across the giant orb. According to Space and Telescope, the total lunar eclipse will begin in Indiana just before dawn on Tuesday, March 3. The Moon will first enter Earth's shadow (penumbra) at 3:44 a.m. EST and will be fully covered by 6:04 a.m., with full totality finishing at 7:02 a.m.

The entire eclipse process will end around 7:24 a.m. EST, with sunrise estimated to be around 7:15-7:17 a.m. on the morning of March 3rd. Now, the only thing that can stand in our way? Weather! Let's hope Mother Nature gifts us nice clear skies that morning for perfect eclipse-viewing conditions.
