A spectacular total lunar eclipse lit up the night sky on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, as a deep red “Blood Moon” was witnessed across several parts of India, including Kolkata, Assam and other northeastern states. Skywatchers in Kolkata captured striking visuals of the Moon glowing in crimson hues, while clearer skies in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland offered an even more dramatic view of the celestial event. Stunning images and videos quickly surfaced on social media, drawing excitement from astronomy enthusiasts and residents alike. The phenomenon occurred when the Earth moved directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow fully over the lunar surface. As sunlight passed through Earth’s atmosphere, shorter wavelengths scattered, allowing red and orange tones to bathe the Moon. While some regions saw the eclipse already underway at moonrise, the rare spectacle left observers across India mesmerised. What Happens During a Total Lunar Eclipse?
