when is the next blood moon in 2023

No Blood Moon After 2023 The next blood moon—a total lunar eclipse—in 2023 was actually the partial lunar eclipse on October 28-29, 2023 , which gave a reddish hue to part of the Moon's surface as Earth's shadow passed over it.

Since that event has long passed (it was over two years ago as of February 2026), there are no more blood moons scheduled for 2023.

What Happened in 2023

  • Date : October 28-29, 2023 (partial, not total, but often called a "blood moon" due to the red tint).
  • Duration : Partial phase lasted 1 hour 17 minutes; overall event 4 hours 25 minutes.
  • Visibility : Seen across Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North/South America, and polar regions.
  • The Moon appeared reddish because sunlight filtered through Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light, leaving red tones to illuminate it.

Upcoming Blood Moons

Total lunar eclipses (true blood moons) skipped 2024 and 2025 for most viewers, but here are the next ones:

Date| Type| Key Visibility Regions| Totality Duration
---|---|---|---
Sept 7-8, 2025| Total| Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa| ~1 hour 3
March 2-3, 2026| Total| North America, Pacific, E. Asia| 58 minutes 379

The March 2026 event is the next big one for North America, turning the Moon a striking copper-red overnight.

TL;DR: 2023's blood moon was Oct 28-29 (already happened); next total is Sept 2025 (not NA-visible), then March 3, 2026 for the Americas.
