The final total lunar eclipse of 2025 will occur on the night of September 7-8, offering skywatchers across the globe a rare view of a Blood Moon. As the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, the Moon will slowly take on a deep red shade.
The eclipse will last for around 82 minutes, creating a stunning visual in the night sky.
Astronomers said the event will be visible in several regions, making it a significant celestial highlight for observers, while also carrying spiritual importance in Hindu tradition as it falls on Pitru Paksha Purnima.
