Citizens of India will see a once-in-a-blue-moon spectacle soon. The Blood Moon in 2025 will illuminate the September night sky, making rooftops, gardens, and open spaces a destination for stargazers.
When will the Blood Moon appear?
The lunar eclipse will take place on 7 September 2025. It will be visible from India, Russia, China, Eastern Africa, and Western Australia. In India, residents of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh will all get a clear chance to see it. Weather conditions, such as cloud cover or pollution, may affect visibility in some regions.
The eclipse will begin at 8:58 pm and continue until 1:25 am on 8 September. Astronomers say the most striking phase of the eclipse will occur between 11:00 pm and 12:22 am, when the Moon will take on its deep red glow.
How can individuals view the lunar eclipse?
As opposed to solar eclipses, lunar eclipses can be viewed with the naked eye without risk. Special equipment is not needed, although a set of binoculars or a telescope will make it even more spectacular. The best chance to see the eclipse clearly is from open areas with low pollution and minimal cloud cover.
Why is this eclipse special?
The Blood Moon 2025 is unique due to its extensive visibility. It is uncommon for a lunar eclipse visible in the majority of India to occur, and thus this spectacle is a high point for observers. It is not just an opportunity for many to witness the spectacle but also a reminder of the rhythm of nature in the night sky.
