A lunar eclipse always proceeds or follows about two weeks before or after a solar eclipse.
Back-to-back eclipses will be visible to a majority of the U.S. this spring – a faint lunar eclipse will be followed two weeks later by the grand finale of a total solar eclipse.While the April 8 total solar eclipse will be visible across 14 states and parts of Mexico and Canada, a penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible across North and South America on March 25.
The image below shows the phases of the dimming Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse in 2023.On the afternoon of April 8, the total solar eclipse will plunge a 100-mile-wide path of the U.S. into near-dusk darkness during totality. Even those who aren't along the path of totality will see a partial solar eclipse up to 99%, which is still an amazing sight. Unless you are watching the few minutes of totality, keep your solar glasses on the entire time.
