For those who plan to watch the blood moon total lunar eclipse later

Check your time zone. - According to NASA, the moon will begin to slide into Earth's penumbra, the outer part of its shadow, at 3:44 a.m.EST

https://www.space.com/news/live/total-lunar-eclipse-blood-moon-march-3-2026-live-updates

During the March lunar eclipse, totality — when the moon is fully immersed in Earth's dark umbral shadow and appears blood-red — will begin at 6:04 a.m. EST (1104 GMT) on March 3 and peak at 6:33 a.m. EST (1133 GMT). Totality will last for approximately 58 minutes, after which the moon will begin to exit from Earth's shadow.

Over 40% of the world's population will be able to see at least some of the total phase of the lunar eclipse. That's over three billion people, according to Time and Date. It will be the last total lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028-2029.
