Early risers across Canada will have a front-row seat to a stunning celestial event on the morning of March 3, as a total lunar eclipse unfolds across much of the country.<\/p>\n

That was Backyard Astronomer Gary Boyle.<\/p>\n

The eclipse will be visible in its entirety from the Pacific and Mountain time zones,while we will only be able to see a part of the show before the moon sets.<\/p>\n

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon, causing Earth\u2019s shadow to fall across the lunar surface.<\/p>\n

With no need for telescopes or filters, Boyle encourages people to simply step outside, find a clear view of the sky, and take a few moments to watch the slow transformation of the moon.<\/p>\n

It is something that can be captured on camera, but Boyle recommends taking it in with your eyes.<\/p>\n

While weather conditions will ultimately determine visibility, the timing of the eclipse varies by region, with western Canada seeing the full event and eastern regions catching partial phases before moonset.<\/p>\n
