Blood Moon 2025: When and Where to See the Blood Moon Eclipse in September 2025

Skywatchers worldwide are gearing up for the spectacular Blood Moon 2025, a rare celestial event that transforms the moon into a glowing red sphere. Its striking appearance fascinates both astronomy lovers and photographers, while its rarity makes it feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Movies, myths, and spiritual tales have long added mystique to the Blood Moon, and in today’s age, social media further amplifies the excitement as people share breathtaking pictures and live streams.

Pakistanis are especially thrilled, as the Met Office confirmed that the upcoming total lunar eclipse on the night of September 7-8 (Sunday) will be the only eclipse visible in the country this year. During the eclipse, the moon will gradually take on a deep red hue as Earth’s atmosphere filters sunlight, creating an awe-inspiring celestial display.

According to experts, “witnessing a Blood Moon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many.” The event will begin on the evening of September 7 and continue into the early hours of September 8, offering sky enthusiasts across the country ample time to enjoy the spectacle.

The Blood Moon will also be visible in other parts of Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and New Zealand, with varying phases observable depending on location.

The red glow is produced when sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light while leaving warm shades of red and orange—similar to the beauty of a dramatic sunset. Throughout history, blood moons have inspired myths, legends, and even influenced events, such as Christopher Columbus using a lunar eclipse in 1504 to sway the Arawak people.
