NASA published a photograph on 4 March 2026 taken during the total lunar eclipse on 3 March 2026. The image shows the Moon partially covered by Earth’s shadow above a ridge near Knolls, Utah. NASA said the shot was captured as the Moon was exiting the umbra, the darkest part of Earth’s shadow. The photo is credited to Bill Dunford and was released by NASA. The publication is part of NASA’s educational materials on eclipses and skywatching.
NASA notes that total lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes through Earth’s shadow and the lunar disc can take on a reddish colour. The material includes an observing description and links to additional eclipse resources. The photo documents the event as seen on 3 March, depending on time zones and viewing location.
