Overview
- NASA’s schedule places totality roughly from 11:03 to 12:02 UTC, within a 5.5‑hour overall event that runs about 08:42 to 14:24 UTC (6:04–7:02 a.m. EST on March 3 in the U.S.).
- Best visibility comes in the evening for eastern Asia and Australia, overnight across the Pacific, and pre‑dawn in North and Central America, while the eclipse is not visible from the UK and much of Europe and Africa.
- In North America, the Moon sets during totality for much of the East Coast, but the West Coast can see the full hour of the deep red phase given clear skies and a low western horizon.
- Most of India will see only the late partial phases at moonrise, with northeastern states such as Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya catching the tail end of totality; Pakistan will see a partial event in the evening.
- For those without clear views, planned livestreams from Timeanddate.com, Griffith Observatory and the Virtual Telescope Project will carry the eclipse worldwide, and the event is safe to watch with the naked eye.
