BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 14, 2025

Just after midnight on Thursday, the moon began its descent into the dark realms of the earth’s shadow, or umbra, transforming into a flaming, coppery red orb for all viewers in Maine. The moon was visible on Thursday evening and reached peak illumination by 2:55 a.m. on Friday morning. For the first time in three years, the total lunar eclipse — also known as the blood moon — was visible to all of North America.
