On the night of September 7–8, 2025, the world will witness a total lunar eclipse, popularly known as a blood moon, where the moon will glow a deep red for approximately 82 minutes.
According to Live Science, this dramatic transformation occurs when Earth passes directly between the sun and the full moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface.
As sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, shorter blue wavelengths scatter while longer red and orange wavelengths bend around the planet and illuminate the moon, giving it its eerie crimson hue.
The eclipse will be visible across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Western Australia, with regions like India, China, Japan, and much of Europe expected to enjoy full visibility.
According to Space dot com, this blood moon will occur just 2.7 days before the moon reaches perigee, its closest point to Earth, making it appear slightly larger and darker than usual, a phenomenon often referred to as a supermoon eclipse.
Observers in these regions won’t need any special equipment to enjoy the show.
The eclipse will begin around 15:28 UTC, with totality peaking at 18:11 UTC, and ending by 20:55 UTC.
