when will lunar eclipse end

The current lunar eclipse (the March 2–3, 2026 total lunar eclipse) is fully over at about 14:23 UTC on March 3, 2026, when even the faint penumbral phase ends.

Quick Scoop: Key Times

Here are the main phases people usually mean when they ask “when will the lunar eclipse end?”

  • End of totality (deep red “Blood Moon” phase): around 12:02–12:03 UTC.
  • End of partial eclipse (when a dark “bite” is still visible): around 13:17 UTC.
  • End of penumbral eclipse (very subtle shading, effectively the true end): around 14:23 UTC.

So if you just care about the dramatic red Blood Moon, it “ends” for most viewers a little after 12:02–12:03 UTC. If you’re asking astronomically when the eclipse fully ends in all phases, that’s about 14:23 UTC.

What This Means For You

Because eclipse times are given in UTC, your local end time depends on where you live. For example, those in North America see these times in the very early morning hours of March 3, 2026, while parts of Europe and Africa do not see this eclipse at all because the Moon is below the horizon.

If you tell me your city or country, I can translate these UTC times into your local clock time so you know exactly when it ends for you. TL;DR:

  • Blood Moon phase ends: ~12:02–12:03 UTC.
  • Entire eclipse, all phases: ~14:23 UTC.
