On March 3, 2026, Pakistan will witness a total lunar eclipse, commonly referred to as a "Blood Moon," which is anticipated to be a significant event for skywatchers. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) confirmed that the eclipse will start at 1:44 PM PST, with the total eclipse beginning at 4:05 PM and reaching its peak at 4:34 PM. This will be the only total lunar eclipse of the year and the last until New Year's Eve 2028, making it a rare occurrence. As noted by ProPakistani, "During totality, the Moon is expected to take on a reddish hue due to sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere and bending toward the Moon." The PMD has provided a detailed timeline for the event, indicating that the penumbral phase will conclude by 7:23 PM PST, allowing observers to experience the transition from day to night as the eclipse progresses.
