On September 7–8, 2025, the world will witness one of the most widely seen total lunar eclipses in history—with nearly 6 billion people able to experience this breathtaking celestial event!

The eclipse will last 5 hours and 27 minutes in total, featuring an extraordinary 82 minutes of totality, when the Moon will be fully immersed in Earth’s shadow. During this phase, it will glow in striking shades of deep red and copper—a mesmerizing Blood Moon spectacle.

Where will it be visible best?

Africa & Europe: The eclipse begins as the Moon rises, giving you the complete show in the evening sky.
Asia & Australia: Watch it late at night or in the early hours of September 8.
Pacific Islands: Excellent visibility across much of the Pacific.
Americas: Sadly, the eclipse won’t be visible here.

And here’s what makes it even more special—it happens just 2.6 days before perigee, when the Moon is closest to Earth. That means it will appear slightly larger and darker than usual—a rare Super Blood Moon!

Mark your calendars, hope for clear skies, and don’t miss this awe-inspiring moment that will unite stargazers across continents.
