Another Blood Moon Coming This Month

 Lots and lots of interesting things happening in September!  We won’t see this one but 5 billion others might!  Wars, blood moons, Rosh Hashanah, world leaders meeting to talk about “peace and security”.

Keep looking up!

********************

A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 7, 2025, when the Moon moves entirely into Earth’s umbral shadow. The eclipse will be fully visible from Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia, while observers in the Americas will miss the event as the Moon will be below the horizon.

The event begins with the penumbral phase at 15:28 UTC, followed by the onset of the partial eclipse at 16:27 UTC. Totality will start at 17:30 UTC and last until 18:52 UTC, with the greatest eclipse at 18:11 UTC. The eclipse will end with the partial phase at 19:56 UTC and penumbral completion at 20:55 UTC.

Lasting about 82 minutes, this will be the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022, and the second of two total lunar eclipses in 2025, following the event on March 14.

During totality, the Moon will take on a copper-red hue—commonly known as a “Blood Moon”—caused by Earth’s atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths of sunlight and refracting the longer red wavelengths onto the lunar surface.

An estimated 5.8 billion people—about 76% of the world’s population—across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia will be able to observe the eclipse.
