Eclipse Overview and Astronomical Details
On September 7, 2025, the cosmos gifts us one of the most powerful total lunar eclipses of the decade. This celestial spectacle will last 82 minutes of totality (17:30 – 18:52 GMT) and will be visible across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Occurring just 2.6 days before perigee, the Moon will appear larger and more luminous, intensifying its energetic influence. This “Blood Moon” phenomenon—when Earth’s shadow completely cloaks the lunar surface—bathes the Moon in a mystical red glow, evoking awe and reverence across cultures for millennia.
