The NJSEA William D. McDowell Observatory will be open from midnight on Thursday, March 13, until 3 a.m. on Friday, March 14, for viewing the Total Lunar Eclipse/Blood Moon. The eclipse will also be visible from your backyard.
During this celestial event, the moon will slip into Earth’s shadow for 65 minutes, taking on a deep reddish hue in what’s often called a “Blood Moon.”
Be sure to call the Observatory Hotline at 201-460-4001 on March 13 regarding event status.
