Ireland can witness a brief total lunar eclipse early Friday morning. However, dawn twilight will make it difficult to see and the Moon will set while still in total eclipse. Times for an observer from Cork, Friday 14th March 2025:
03:57 Moon enters penumbra (partial shadow) of Earth
05:09 Moon enters umbra (full shadow) of Earth, appears to darken
06:26 Moon is now fully in Earth’s umbra, takes on blood-red colour
06:53 This is where the Moon falls below the horizon, still in total eclipse, dawn twilight will also make it very difficult by this time to see the Moon
