Overview

  • In metropolitan France, the Moon enters Earth’s umbra at 19:30, reaches maximum at 20:11, and totality ends at 20:52 according to official ephemerides.
  • Visibility in France depends on moonrise, with Strasbourg seeing nearly an hour of totality, Paris about 30 minutes, and western cities only brief views.
  • Globally, the eclipse is fully visible from India, central Asia, parts of Russia and East Africa, and it is not visible from North America.
  • The Moon’s red hue results from sunlight refracted and scattered through Earth’s atmosphere, and the eclipse is safe to view with the naked eye.
  • Saturn will appear close to the eclipsed Moon, and this marks the year’s second total lunar eclipse ahead of the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse.
