Traditionally, eclipses are divided into two major types: solar and lunar. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, leaving a moving region of shadow on the Earth’s surface. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Upcoming lunar eclipses visible from the United States will occur March 14, 2025, March 3, 2026, and June 26, 2029.
