A stacked image of the lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026, taken from 9.10pm to 9.28pm. A total lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon, when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, with the Earth passing directly between the Sun and the Moon. This causes the Earth’s shadow to be cast onto the lunar surface.
