This evening, Sunday, 7 September 2025, a spectacular astronomical event will occur: a total lunar eclipse, also known as "blood moon", that will be visible across the country.
The eclipse will be unusually long — the phase of totality will last about 80 minutes. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 21:12.
The lunar eclipse is expected to be visible in the skies over Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
The eclipse is called a "blood moon" because, during totality, sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, is refracted and scattered — mainly at longer red wavelengths — and reaches the Moon, which takes on a deep red color.
The next total lunar eclipse is expected to take place on March 3.
