The night of September 7–8, 2025, will bring a rare and beautiful sky event — a total lunar eclipse, also called a Blood Moon. During this time, the Earth will block sunlight from directly reaching the Moon, making it glow in shades of deep red and orange. Such an eclipse will not happen again until 2026, making it a must-watch for stargazers.
The red color of a Blood Moon happens because of Earth’s atmosphere. When sunlight passes through, the shorter blue light scatters away, while the longer red and orange light bends toward the Moon. This bathes the lunar surface in a crimson glow, giving rise to the name Blood Moon.
This eclipse will be visible across large parts of the world, including:

For the best experience, step outside to an open area like a terrace, rooftop, or park away from city lights.
The total phase will last 82 minutes, making this one of the longest and most beautiful lunar eclipses of the decade.
