A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon takes on a deep red or coppery hue, often called a blood moon, and can be visible to millions of people worldwide.
This 2025 lunar eclipse calendar lists the exact date, time, and visibility details for the year's eclipses so you can plan your viewing. The first total lunar eclipse took place March 13–14, 2025, delighting viewers across the Americas.
The final eclipse of the year will occur Sept. 7–8, 2025, with the best views in Asia and Western Australia. Like all lunar eclipses, it will pass through several phases, penumbral, partial, and totality, creating a different experience depending on your location.
This event will be best viewed from Asia and Western Australia, with partial visibility across Europe, Africa, eastern Australia, and New Zealand, according to Time and Date.
During totality, the moon will appear red or coppery as Earth's atmosphere filters sunlight, scattering shorter blue wavelengths and allowing red light to reach the moon's surface. The exact shade will depend on atmospheric conditions such as dust, pollution, or volcanic ash.
