Lunar Eclipse 2025 Highlights: Beautiful Blood Moon seen during Chandra Grahan in Delhi on September 7-8
On the night of September 7–8, 2025, people across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia will be treated to a spectacular sight—a total lunar eclipse, popularly called a Blood Moon. This rare celestial event is expected to draw millions of skywatchers, as the Moon takes on an enchanting deep red glow.
What causes a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the lunar surface. Instead of going completely dark, the Moon looks red because Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light while bending the longer red wavelengths toward the Moon. This natural effect is the same reason we see brilliant red and orange hues during sunsets.
Why is it called a Blood Moon?
The striking reddish or coppery color is what has earned this phenomenon the dramatic name “Blood Moon.” Its otherworldly glow has fascinated cultures for centuries, often seen as a symbol of mystery and transformation.
Why is this eclipse special?
This particular eclipse will last for about 82 minutes of totality, making it one of the longest in the past decade. Best of all, it will be visible to billions worldwide—even without telescopes.
So, mark your calendars—the September 2025 Blood Moon promises to be a breathtaking natural show you won’t want to miss.

Lunar Eclipse 2025 Live Updates: The science behind the red glow of Blood Moon – Rayleigh Scattering
The phenomenon is caused by Rayleigh scattering. As sunlight travels through Earth's atmosphere, shorter wavelengths like blue and violet scatter in all directions. However, longer wavelengths, such as red and orange, pass through more directly. This filtered light is what illuminates the Moon during the total eclipse, making it appear red, orange, or even copper-coloured. Rayleigh Scattering is the same phenomenon that makes the sky appear blue.

Lunar Eclipse 2025 Live Updates: What makes the Blood Moon red-- The science behind the glow
Why does the Moon turn red during an eclipse? As explained by the Times of India, the phenomenon occurs due to Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, shorter wavelengths like blue and violet scatter away, while longer wavelengths—red and orange—travel more directly. This filtered light reaches the Moon, giving it a glowing red, orange, or copper hue during the total eclipse.
