The first lunar eclipse of 2025 will take place on March 14, marking a total lunar eclipse, according to the Department of Astrophysics at the Physics Faculty of Baku State University (BSU).

The eclipse is set to begin at 09:09:33 (UTC) and will conclude at 12:47:48 (UTC), lasting a total of 3 hours and 38 minutes. The total eclipse phase will start at 10:26:06 and end at 11:31:26, reaching its maximum at 10:59:56.

For 65 minutes, the Moon will take on a striking red-orange hue, a phenomenon known as the "Blood Moon." This effect occurs when sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering shorter wavelengths and allowing only long-wavelength red light to illuminate the Moon.

The eclipse will be most visible in North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, Western Europe, and West Africa. However, it will not be observable from Azerbaijan, as the Moon will be below the horizon during the event.
