Lunar Eclipse Occurring Tonight: Timings for Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Live Viewing Options Revealed
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, is set to grace the night sky on September 7-8, 2025. This cosmic event promises to be a stunning sight, with over 77 percent of the world's population able to catch a glimpse.
For those in India, the maximum phase of the lunar eclipse will occur at 2:41 AM IST on September 8. The eclipse timings in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are 11:15 PM - 12:37 AM, 11:00 PM - 12:22 AM, and 11:00 PM - 12:22 AM IST respectively.
Observers in other cities, such as Bangkok, Beijing, and Tokyo, can look forward to the total lunar eclipse after midnight, with clear totality phases. However, for cities in East Africa like Nairobi (Kenya), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), and Kampala (Uganda), the total lunar eclipse will occur on the night of September 7–8, 2025, around 8:30 p.m. local time.
Astronomers predict that during the eclipse, the moon will turn a vibrant red-orange colour as it passes through Earth's shadow. This deep red hue is caused by sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere, casting a reddish glow beneath the black sky. Even without equipment, everyone will be able to see this reddish glow.
The duration of totality, when the moon is completely covered by Earth's umbral shadow, is approximately 82 minutes. Viewing the eclipse with unaided eyes is generally safe, but using binoculars or a telescope is advised for an enhanced view.
