TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Singapore skies are about to be graced by a rare red-hued total lunar eclipse in the month ahead. This celestial phenomenon will unfold under the bright presence of Jupiter, framed by the glittering constellations of Taurus, Orion, Canis Major, and Gemini.
As it will be the last total lunar eclipse until December 31, 2028, Science Centre Singapore is making the most of the occasion by hosting viewing sessions.
With free standard admission tickets, skygazers are invited to catch the March lunar eclipse from a front-row seat.
Mark your calendar and take note of everything you need to know to catch the March total lunar eclipse at the Science Centre Singapore.
When will the Total Lunar Eclipse be visible?
The total lunar eclipse will take place on March 3, 2026, coinciding with the 15th day of Chinese New Year. The viewing window begins at around 07:15 PM, reaches its maximum eclipse at 07:33 PM, and concludes at 09:17 PM, as reported by The Smart Local Singapore and The Straits Times.
At the Science Centre Singapore, however, the red-hued Moon will appear fully eclipsed between 07:47 pm and 08:02 PM.
What to expect during the Total Lunar Eclipse?
Skygazers can look forward to watching the Moon gradually darken before glowing in a deep, coppery red. This occurs as Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow over the lunar surface.
The reddish hue appears as sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering shorter blue wavelengths and allowing red light to reach the Moon.
How can I join the Science Centre Singapore viewing session?
To attend the free viewing session at Science Centre Singapore, visitors can secure tickets through two registration methods.
From February 20 onwards, the centre’s official website will open for online pre-registration. Alternatively, those opting for on-site registration may do so at the main entrance starting from 06:00 PM.
For visitors seeking a more well-rounded experience, Science Centre Singapore offers an SG$4 bundle that includes a Digital Planetarium show at the Omni-Theatre. As noted by Travel + Leisure, show sessions are scheduled at 05:00 PM, 05:40 PM, 08:10 PM, and 08:50 PM.
Can I bring my own telescope?
TimeOut noted that visitors aren’t permitted to bring their personal telescope or equipment to the centre. All viewing will be done using the 15-high powered telescopes provided on site.
