Lunar eclipse to start Thursday night, end Friday morning

Mar 13, 2025 | 3:26 PM

We might get to see a lunar eclipse Thursday night into Friday morning if the sky is clear.

The website timeanddate.com says the eclipse will start at 9:57 p.m. Alberta time Thursday night.

Totality, the time when the moon is completely obscured by the Earth, will start at 12:26 a.m. Friday and end at 1:31 a.m.

The eclipse will end at 4:00 a.m. Alberta time Friday morning.

The eclipse will be visible across Canada.
