Total Lunar Eclipse 'Blood Moon' Set to Be Visible for Much of UK - Liverpool Echo

The total lunar eclipse lasted about 82 minutes, turning the Moon red due to Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight, and was visible to over 7 billion people globally, experts said.

  • On September 7 and 8, 2025 a total lunar eclipse lit the night sky, producing a Blood Moon seen by billions across Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia.
  • Earth's shadow caused the total eclipse as the planet aligned with the Sun and Moon; sunlight refracted through Earth's atmosphere, scattering blue light and bending red light toward the Moon, producing the reddish hue.
  • Totality lasted about 82 minutes, with the Moon fully eclipsed from 11:01 pm to 12:23 am, while the full eclipse spanned roughly three hours and 29 minutes, Niruj Mohan Ramanujam, Head of Science, SCOPE, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, said.
  • Organisers set up public viewing events and livestreams, including at MAHA Tower, Langkawi, while Muslim communities performed the Salat Al Khusuf prayer; astronomers said viewing was safe without protective glasses.
  • No other eclipses are expected in the kingdom until August 2, 2027, with the next total lunar eclipse on December 31, 2028.
