Total Lunar Eclipse to Create 'Blood Moon' on September 7, 2025
A total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, will produce a 'blood moon' visible across parts of Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe.
A total lunar eclipse is set to occur on September 7, 2025, resulting in a 'blood moon' visible across parts of Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth aligns between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that gives the moon a reddish hue.
The eclipse will begin at 15:28 GMT, with totality starting at 17:30 GMT and lasting approximately 82 minutes.
Observers in Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe will have the opportunity to witness the entire eclipse. In contrast, the Americas will not have visibility due to the moon being below the horizon during the event.
This will be the second and final total lunar eclipse of 2025, with the next one expected on March 3, 2026.
No special equipment is required to view the eclipse, and it is safe to observe with the naked eye. For enhanced viewing, the use of telescopes or binoculars is recommended.
