Overview

• Space.com and NDTV list the global phases in UTC: totality runs from 17:31 to 18:52 with maximum at 18:11 and an overall duration of about 5 hours 27 minutes, including an ~82‑minute total phase.
• Totality will be seen across large swaths of Asia, Africa, Europe and western Australia, while North America largely misses the event; tracking estimates suggest roughly 86% of people can see at least part of it.
• In the UK, the eclipse’s maximum occurs before moonrise (about 7:11 p.m. BST), the Moon rises around 7:30 p.m. already in eclipse, and totality ends near 7:52 p.m., with eastern England getting up to about 29 minutes; a clear eastern horizon is advised.
• Korea’s official schedule from KASI sets partial eclipse at 1:26 a.m., totality from 2:30 to 3:53 a.m., and greatest eclipse at 3:11 a.m. local time on Sept. 8.
• The event is safe to view without eye protection, and the Moon’s red hue occurs as Earth’s atmosphere filters and bends sunlight, scattering blues and sending longer red wavelengths into Earth’s shadow.
