Rare Blood Moon Eclipse to Illuminate Indian Skies in 2025
Get ready for a cool sky show!
On September 7, 2025, we'll see a Blood Moon, a type of lunar eclipse, from India.
It happens when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon, making the moon turn red.
This red color comes from sunlight bending through our atmosphere.
The best part will be visible between 11 PM and 12:22 AM.
Also, this eclipse happens during the September full moon, called the Corn Moon.
So, it's a Blood Moon, but some people also call it the Corn Moon.
A Blood Moon lunar eclipse will occur on September 7, 2025, visible from India.
The eclipse will start at 8:58 PM IST and end at 1:25 AM IST on September 8, 2025.
The most vivid display, when the Moon appears red, will be between 11:00 PM and 12:22 AM.
The red hue is due to Rayleigh scattering, with Earth's atmosphere bending sunlight.
The eclipse coincides with the September full moon, also known as the Corn Moon in the Northern Hemisphere.
