The total lunar eclipse—commonly called the “Blood Moon”—peaked on the night of September 7 into early September 8, but was largely not visible across the contiguous United States due to daylight timing. Observers in North America missed the celestial event as the moon had already set before the eclipse reached full totality. Astronomers and science outlets recommended viewers tune into livestreams like the Virtual Telescope Project, which began at 1:45 p.m. EDT. Experts noted the eclipse remained entirely safe to observe, requiring no special equipment for those in visible regions. The event sparked widespread interest globally, even if most U.S. audiences experienced it vicariously through online streaming.
