'Blood Moon' and total lunar eclipse viewable in September - exact date to spot
The total lunar eclipse causes the Moon to appear copper-red as it passes through Earth's shadow, visible without special equipment, with maximum eclipse at 7:33pm BST in the UK.
- On Sunday, September 7, 2025, a Blood Moon total lunar eclipse will occur, visible across Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa, reaching nearly 77 per cent of the world’s population.
- Because of Earth's atmosphere, the Moon's red hue during a total lunar eclipse comes from red wavelengths refracted into Earth's umbra, and such eclipses occur every couple of years with September 7, 2025 being the second and final one this year.
- In the UK, Royal Museums Greenwich advises seeking high eastern viewpoints as the Moon will be low, while the Virtual Telescope Project offers a free livestream; U.S. observers cannot see the eclipse directly.
- Observers should reduce light pollution, check weather, and choose high eastern sites to enhance viewing; binoculars and backyard telescopes can reveal more lunar details, Royal Museums Greenwich advice.
- After September, the next partial lunar eclipse is expected on August 28, 2026, and September's Corn Moon will be followed by the Harvest Moon on Oct. 6, 2025.
