Blood Moon 2025 Date And Time: A total Lunar Eclipse, also known as ‘Blood Moon’, is one of the breathtaking celestial spectacles, all set to occur in March 2025. While it's a stunning visual for the public, it’s also a fascinating phenomenon that scientists love to research. Scroll down to check out the date, time, and other details about this celestial event.
Blood Moon is one of the most fascinating celestial events that compels scientists to study more about it. Also, known as the total Lunar Eclipse, this year, it is all set to occur on March 14, 2025. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so that the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. However, in a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. When the Moon is within the umbra, it looks red-orange, and thus, is referred to as ‘Blood Moon’.
The eclipse will begin at 9:27 am IST and will reach its peak at 12:28 pm IST, and end by 3:30 pm IST. The eclipse will not be visible from India, as it occurs during daylight hours when the moon is below the horizon. The best views are expected in South and North America, where the total eclipse will last over 65 minutes. However, for the celestial event enthusiasts, this event will stream live on social media platforms. Additionally, Indian astronomers expect a full lunar eclipse on September 7-8, 2025, which will be visible throughout the country.
