• The total lunar eclipse will occur on March 14, 2025.
• It will be visible from Callao Salvaje, a location between Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes in southwest Tenerife.
• The eclipse will be visible across the sea or the island of La Gomera, depending on location.
2. Eclipse Timeline (Tenerife Time – WET)
• Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 03:57 AM

• Total Eclipse Begins: 06:26 AM
• Maximum Eclipse (deepest point): 06:58 AM
• Eclipse Ends: Around 07:22 AM (but may set below the horizon before this)
• The total eclipse phase will begin just before 6:30 AM, with the peak at 6:58 AM, after which light will start returning.
• Because the moon will be low on the horizon, visibility might be reduced before the eclipse completes.
3. What to Expect
• The eclipse lasts about 3 hours and 25 minutes in total.
• The penumbral shadow (lighter outer shadow) appears first.
• The umbra (darker core shadow) will cause the moon to darken, creating a blood moon effect (a reddish tint).
4. Viewing Tips
• Ensure you have a clear view of the western horizon.
• The moon may disappear before it fully sets, so watch carefully before it drops below the horizon.
