On March 14, a total lunar eclipse, termed a "Blood Moon," transpired, giving the Moon a reddish hue during its eclipse while it was in its last quarter phase, appearing half-illuminated.
Additionally, March will feature another astronomical event—the equinox. Occurring on March 20, the equinox denotes the day with the shortest daylight in the northern hemisphere, while it is the longest day in the southern hemisphere.
NASA stated, "As winter concludes in the Northern Hemisphere and spring commences, the duration of sunlight increases, accelerating around the vernal (spring) equinox on March 20."
