The phenomenon is rare. An eclipse of Moon Total will take place on Friday March 14, 2025. Good news, it will be visible to the naked eye in mainland France when the shadow of the earth begins to nibble the moon, at 6:09 am. The eclipse of the Moon will actually continue but it will no longer be visible due to the rising of sun. The peak of the phenomenon is expected at 7:58 am, and the end of the phenomenon at 9:47 am … The spectacle will be accompanied by a “blood moon” which will cover the moon with a copper shade. Lucky, Martinique and Guadeloupe will see the entire eclipse.
The beginning of the Moon Eclipse will be observable provided that the western horizon is cleared and the late the moon will go to bed late, the ideal the observation conditions. This is good news for the inhabitants of the Pointe de la Bretagne as in Brest, who will see a more advanced eclipse before the sunset. Unlike total sun eclipses, no need for special protections to attend the phenomenon. Just look up to heaven and arm with patience. The observation place must be located far from any light pollution (at the top of a hill, on a beach etc …) observation advice, but also meaning, we tell you everything about the phenomenon below:

If the sky is cleared, there is no problem to observe a moon eclipse with a naked eye, without any danger (unlike thesolar eclipse) and without any particular equipment. We advise you to place yourself towards the clear horizon and to turn to the southwest. The observation place must be located far from any light pollution (at the top of a hill, on a beach etc …) as for a super moonin case you are in an area where the clouds veil its visibility, you can arm yourself with your telescopeof your binoculars or a Pair of astronomical glasses To even better observe the lunar eclipse.
For those who wish to immortalize the phenomenon, you can also have a standard objective of 50 mm as longer focal length objectives (between 200 mm and 2,700 mm on Full Frame sensor). The important thing is to be able to have a tripod to avoid the blur of Bougé. The use of a telephoto lens is obviously ideal so that the moon comes into the context, but for photographers with a small focal length, you can make a spill of eclipse (successive overprints of the different phases of the eclipse on the same photograph). Given the low light during the Moon eclipse, set your device with a high sensitivity high depending on the phase of the eclipse, as well as a large opening.
