Blood Moon Eclipse Tonight | Portland News

Don’t miss Thursday night’s rare blood moon eclipse—96% of the moon will be bathed in eerie red as Earth’s shadow wraps around it, creating a cosmic light show visible across most of North America. Peak timing varies: East Coast viewers get the darkest moment at 12:12 AM Friday, while West Coast folks catch it at 9:12 PM Thursday. The red glow? Pure science: Earth’s atmosphere filters sunlight, letting only red wavelengths through. Higher elevations and eastern locations offer the best views, though Hawaii and Alaska may miss the prime window—but you might still catch the tail end after sunset. Grab your binoculars, set your alarms, and gaze upward—this is nature’s grand celestial spectacle, happening right above us all.
