Mark your calendars—Illinois is in for a sky show you won’t want to miss! On March 3, 2026, the entire state will have front-row seats to a total lunar eclipse, with the Moon turning a deep, dramatic red right overhead. Unlike other places where the view might be blocked or low on the horizon, folks in Chicago, Springfield, and beyond will see every phase in crystal-clear detail. No special glasses needed—just step outside early that morning. Anyone planning to snap photos or host a watch party? Let’s talk eclipse plans! #Science #Illinois #BloodMoon
