On the night of September 7–8, 2025, the full “Corn Moon” will undergo a dramatic transformation, turning deep red in a rare and captivating total lunar eclipse visible to billions around the globe.

Why This Eclipse Is Special

This event marks one of the longest total lunar eclipses of the decade. The Moon will pass through Earth’s darkest inner shadow—the umbra—for about 82 minutes—from 17:30 to 18:53 UTC, with the moment of deepest eclipse at 18:11 UTC.WikipediaThe Times of India

Coined the “Blood Moon,” during totality it glows red due to sunlight scattering through Earth’s atmosphere—blue wavelengths are filtered out, while red light refracts onto the lunar surface.The Times of IndiaSpace


Global Visibility

Millions across Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica will enjoy at least portions of the eclipse. Areas like East Africa and Western Australia will see the full event. In parts of Europe, lunar eclipse viewing will begin as the Moon rises already partially eclipsed.The Times of IndiaCondé Nast TravelerWikipediaSpace+1
