Mark Your Calendars for a Celestial Show!

Astronomy lovers, get ready! A breathtaking total lunar eclipse is set to light up the sky on September 7, 2025. This isn't just any eclipse—it's the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022, promising a visual treat for millions around the globe.

What Happens During a Lunar Eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth positions itself directly between the sun and the moon, casting a stunning shadow that transforms the moon into a mesmerizing deep red, often referred to as a "blood moon." This captivating phenomenon is not just an effect of light; it's a cosmic spectacle that highlights the beauty of our universe.

Where Will the Eclipse Be Visible?

The total lunar eclipse will be fully visible across Asia and Western Australia, with phases observable in parts of Europe, Africa, and eastern Australia. The maximum eclipse will hit its peak at 2:55 UTC, making it a must-see for those in optimal viewing locations.

What About the U.S.?

Unfortunately, if you’re in the United States, you'll miss out on witnessing this amazing eclipse directly. The event kicks off at 11:28 AM EDT (15:28 UTC), but by that time, the moon will have already dipped below the horizon. So, no blood moon sightings for Americans this time!

Catch the Live Stream!

Don’t despair! You can still be part of the action from the comfort of your home. The Virtual Telescope Project in Italy will provide a free livestream starting at 1:45 PM EDT (17:45 UTC), allowing you to experience the eclipse live as it unfolds in Europe.

Get Ready for a Stellar Experience!

2025 is shaping up to be a remarkable year for astronomical events, and this total lunar eclipse is one you won't want to miss—even if you're unable to see it directly. Embrace the magic of the cosmos and tune in to witness this extraordinary event!
