Total Lunar Eclipse — March 13–14, 2025
In March 2025, the most notable sky event visible from Mexico will be a total lunar eclipse (also called a blood moon) occurring on the night of March 13-14, which will be fully visible across North America, of which Mexico is a part, making it a great opportunity for skywatching in the region; during this eclipse, the moon will appear reddish in color as it passes through Earth’s shadow

March 20 – March Equinox
The March equinox occurs at 03:58 QRoo time. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.
You Can’t See It, But It’s There!
How many things do we still not know about our galaxy? The fact is that this universe is full of mysteries that are slowly coming to light thanks to the development of technology. Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered something surprising, and it’s not about Venus, or the Moon, or Jupiter, or Saturn, it’s about an exoplanet they have called GJ 1214 b. It’s located 48 light years from the constellation Ophiuchus, and has been classified as a sub-Neptune due to its size (intermediate between Earth and Neptune)
This planet has been a mystery to scientists because it had a dense layer of clouds that made it very difficult to observe clearly. This type of planet with this composition is not found in our Solar System. Thanks to the JWST infrared, scientists were able to create a more detailed heat map in which the “day and night” of the planet were captured. But the most incredible thing is that the atmosphere of this planet reflects a considerable amount of light from its host star; in addition, its atmosphere is composed of water and methane, which points to a water origin.
