From glowing rivers to mysterious ringing rocks to a horizontal waterfall, the world is full of strange wonders. Make it your business to see one in 2025. Revel in the sense of awe that comes from being surrounded by thousands of puffins, swimming alongside a massive sperm whale or witnessing a calving glacier. Some of these phenomena involve thousands of miles of travel, booking helicopter trips or winching yourself into a climbing harness. But others\u2014such as March\u2019s \u201cblood moon\u201d\u2014can be seen from your own backyard.<\/p>\n

On the night of March 13 to 14, North and South America will experience a total lunar eclipse<\/a>, when the moon moves into the Earth\u2019s shadow. The moon doesn\u2019t disappear, but it does change color due to the scattering of light waves. The resulting reddish tint gives the phenomena the nickname \u201cblood moon.\u201d You can see the blood moon from anywhere in the United States; the best views will, of course, be where the sky is clear and unpolluted.<\/p>\n

Though we now understand the science behind eclipses, it wasn\u2019t always so. Throughout most of human history, many cultures have thought such phenomena were ill omens caused by supernatural beings<\/a>. In 1504, Christopher Columbus used these beliefs<\/a> to manipulate the natives of Jamaica to his advantage, claiming that if they did not cooperate with him, the moon would disappear. After the eclipse (which Columbus knew about because he had a celestial almanac) came to pass, the frightened people brought food to Columbus\u2019 men.<\/p>\n

Eerie bioluminescence<\/h2>\n

From June to October, the rivers and lagoons of Florida\u2019s Space Coast glow an otherworldly blue thanks to the natural bioluminescence of dinoflagellates and comb jellies. Join a kayaking excursion on the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River or the Indian River Lagoon, and glide across dark waters that pop with sparkling trails of aqua and indigo when the glowing critters are disturbed by oars or passing fish. The height of the phenomenon is late summer, and the best viewing is when the water is calm and unmuddied by recent rains.<\/p>\n

Bioluminescence in Florida and elsewhere can be so intense it\u2019s picked up by satellites<\/a>, as scientists discovered in recent years. \u201cIt was an epiphany,\u201d Steven D. Miller<\/a>, a scientist at Colorado State University who led a bioluminescence study<\/a>, told the New York Times<\/em><\/a>. Such satellite images should be able to help researchers better understand what causes large patches of bioluminescence.<\/p>\n
