On the night of September 7–8, 2025, the skies treated us to one of the most breathtaking sights of the decade: a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.
For more than 80 minutes, the Moon glowed with a fiery red hue, mesmerizing millions of people across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. Even if you missed it, here’s everything you need to know about this unforgettable celestial show.
🔭 What Exactly Is a Blood Moon?
A Blood Moon happens during a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon. Instead of going completely dark, the Moon turns red because Earth’s atmosphere bends sunlight. Blue light scatters away, while red and orange tones pass through—painting the Moon in a dramatic copper glow.
This time, atmospheric conditions made the red especially vivid, creating a glowing orb that had people all over the world pointing their cameras skyward.
🌍 Who Got to See It?
This eclipse was visible across much of the Eastern Hemisphere:
Asia
Africa
Europe
Australia
Sadly, North America missed out this round—but don’t worry, another lunar eclipse is coming soon in March 2026.
