On September 7, 2025, a total lunar eclipse will be visible across much of Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and Oceania, while the Americas will miss the event because the Moon will be below the horizon. The eclipse begins with the penumbral phase around 17:28 CEST, followed by the partial phase and a totality lasting from 19:30 to 20:52, reaching its maximum at about 20:11, and ending with the last penumbral contact near 22:55. Belonging to Saros series 128, this eclipse offers 1 hour and 22 minutes of totality and more than 3 hours of partial coverage. During the event, the Moon will take on its characteristic reddish hue, known as the “Blood Moon,” caused by Earth’s atmosphere scattering blue light and letting red tones reach the lunar surface. Because the Moon will be near perigee, it will also appear slightly larger and brighter than usual, and a conjunction with Saturn later that night will add another highlight to the spectacle.
