Total Lunar Eclipse cum The Lantern Festival (元宵節)

The Total Lunar Eclipse in March, coinciding with the vibrant Lantern Festival (元宵節), marks the end of Lunar New Year celebrations and symbolizes unity.


The Total Lunar maximum eclipse, typically observed from Toronto, usually occurs between 2 AM and 4 AM on a clear night. Capturing the maximum eclipse at the horizon on March 4 at 6 AM, when the moon sets, is a rare event that creates a stunning landscape.
