Partial Lunar Eclipse Set to Grace Germany's Skies

On March 14th, early risers in Germany have the opportunity to witness a partial lunar eclipse. The event will be brief, as the moon enters the Earth's shadow around 6:11 am. However, the moon will soon set, making the spectacle short-lived for German observers. To catch a glimpse, one needs an unobstructed view of the western horizon, though cloudy weather could hinder visibility in some regions.

While Germany will experience a partial eclipse, North America will enjoy a total lunar eclipse, with the moon taking on a reddish hue — popularly known as a Blood Moon. This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's atmosphere refracting sunlight, casting a crimson shade on the moon. The total eclipse will be broadcasted via livestream, allowing global audiences to partake in the celestial event.

Those eager for more lunar spectacles can look forward to the next Blood Moon visible in Germany on September 7th, 2025. Meanwhile, enthusiasts might consider the partial solar eclipse on March 29th for another chance to gaze at the skies.

Lunar Eclipse on March 14th Also Visible in Germany: But There's a Catch

On March 14th, there will be a partial lunar eclipse in Germany around 6:11 am, where the moon is only partially covered by the Earth's shadow. In North America, the Blood Moon can be seen around 7:26 am when the moon is completely in the Earth's shadow and appears reddish due to the sun's rays being refracted through the Earth's atmosphere. Unlike a solar eclipse, the moon remains visible as our largest satellite. The next Blood Moon in Germany is expected on September 7th, 2025.

The House of Astronomy in Heidelberg informs about the possibility of observing a total lunar eclipse on March 14, but unfortunately not in Germany.

When can the partial lunar eclipse be best seen in Germany?

Politics
The partial lunar eclipse on March 14th is not easy to observe for observers in Germany, as the moon is already very low in the sky and only a few minutes remain to experience the spectacle. A clear view of the western sky is required, as the Association of Amateur Astronomers recommends. In the USA, the total lunar eclipse will be broadcast live and it can also be seen in Germany again from March 2025.
