On 7 to 8 September 2025, a chance alignment of Earth, the Moon , and the Sun will see a good swathe of our planet bathed in the eerie red glow of a total lunar eclipse .

It will be the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022 , with a totality that lingers around 1 hour and 22 minutes, during which time Earth's satellite will appear to be dyed a deep, blood-red hue.

To make things even more exciting, the event will be visible from Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe – which means more than 7 billion people will have a chance to see it, with some 6.2 billion able to observe the totality from beginning to end.

The Americas will mostly miss out, because it will be daytime, but Hawaii, a slice of Alaska, and a slice of Brazil will have a chance to see at least a partial eclipse.
