Lunar eclipse of September 7, 2025: a glimpse at the mesmerizing Blood Moon event
The total lunar eclipse of September 7, 2025, also known as the "Blood Moon," is a notable astronomical event. This celestial spectacle will occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with the Moon passing into the Earth's shadow.
The event begins with a penumbral eclipse, which starts at 15:28 universal time. During a penumbral eclipse, the Moon enters the Earth's outer shadow, or penumbra, causing a slight dimming of the Moon's brightness. The penumbral eclipse ends at 20:55 universal time.
The total lunar eclipse itself begins at 17:30 universal time and reaches its maximum at 18:11. During the total eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, called the umbra. This phase is when the Moon takes on a reddish tone, known as the Blood Moon, due to the refraction of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere.
The maximum eclipse, when the Moon is most fully within the Earth's shadow, occurs at 18:11 universal time. The total lunar eclipse ends at 18:52, marking the end of the Blood Moon phase.
Unfortunately, the total lunar eclipse of September 7, 2025, will not be visible in Asia, most of North America, and most of South America. However, it will be visible in Europe, Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of North and South America.
The partial eclipse of the total lunar eclipse ends at 19:56 universal time, signifying the end of the eclipse event.
This Blood Moon total lunar eclipse of 2025 is a unique opportunity for sky-gazers around the world to witness this stunning astronomical event. The term "Blood Moon" refers to a total lunar eclipse in which the Moon takes on a reddish tone due to the refraction of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere. It's a sight not to be missed!
