Thank you for bringing this special celestial event to our attention! The total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025 promises to be a truly stunning spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the most important information about this event and why the Moon turns red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to expect on September 7, 2025?
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon. This puts the Moon in the Earth\u2019s shadow, blocking direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solar eclipse on September 7, 2025 will be visible to observers in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. In many parts of Europe, including Germany, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in the evening sky shortly after moonrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Totality, the phase in which the Moon is completely in the Earth’s shadow and takes on a reddish hue, will begin at 19:30 (CEST) and end at 20:53 (CEST). The eclipse will reach its maximum at 20:12 (CEST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does the Moon turn red? The mystery of the “blood moon”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Moon enters the Earth’s shadow, it does not disappear completely. It takes on a stunning, reddish-copper hue. This phenomenon is due to the Earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scattering: The Earth’s atmosphere acts as a lens, refracting sunlight. Short-wavelength light (blue and violet light) is scattered by the atmosphere, which is why the sky appears blue during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red light passes through: Long-wavelength light (red and orange light) penetrates the atmosphere more easily. This red light is bent into the Earth\u2019s shadow and illuminates the Moon.
The color: The Moon reflects this bent red light, which is why it appears to us as a \u201cblood moon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more dust, smoke, and particles in the atmosphere, the darker and redder the Moon may appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
