Total LunarBlood Moon’ Eclipse Set for Sept. 7–8 With Exceptionally Broad Visibility

Totality will be visible across most of Asia, Africa, Europe and western Australia, with North America largely missing the deepest phase.

Overview

  • Authoritative schedules from Timeanddate and Space.com show an approximately 82‑minute totality with detailed phase times published for major regions.
  • UK observers will see the Moon rise already eclipsed, with the event’s actual maximum at 7:11 p.m. below the horizon and a UK viewing maximum near 7:33 p.m. BST; a clear eastern horizon is advised.
  • In Korea, officials list partial eclipse at 1:26 a.m., totality from 2:30 to 3:53 a.m., maximum at 3:11 a.m., and the eclipse ending at 5:56 a.m., with observatories planning public viewings.
  • Large parts of Asia, Europe, Africa and western Australia are set to see totality or significant phases, while most of North America will miss the total phase because the Moon is below the horizon.
  • The Moon’s red hue arises as Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light and refracts red wavelengths into the umbra; the eclipse is safe to view without eye protection, though binoculars enhance the view.
