March 3 — Total Lunar Eclipse
As the full Moon rises at sunset, the eclipse is already under way. The eclipse is visible throughout the continental United States and Canada, except in the westernmost regions.
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. This can occur only when the Moon is full, and when the Sun, Earth and Moon are exactly on a line, or very closely so. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depends upon the Moon’s location relative to its orbital nodes. The next total lunar eclipse will take place at on 3 March, 2007 and will be visible over the eastern Americas, Europe, Africa, and western Asia.
The Moon does not completely disappear as it passes through the umbra because of the refraction of sunlight by the Earth’s atmosphere into the shadow cone. The amount of refracted light depends on the amount of clouds or dust in the atmosphere, and this light causes the Moon to glow with a coppery-red hue that varies from one eclipse to the next.

If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.
If March comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion.
According to Farmer’s Alamanac: An interesting note is that some skywatchers believe that the lion and lamb saying has a heavenly connection. The constellation Leo, the lion, is rising in the east at the beginning of March, hence the “comes in like a lion,” while Aries, the ram, sets in the west at the end of March, and so “will go out like a lamb.”
