Watching the night sky has always been a magical experience, and 2025 is bringing one of the most stunning celestial events – the September Blood Moon lunar eclipse. This will be the last lunar eclipse of the year, and people across India will be able to see it clearly. From its exact date and time to the best locations to enjoy the view, here’s everything you need to know about the Lunar Eclipse 2025.
The final lunar eclipse of 2025, also called Chandra Grahan or the Blood Moon, will take place on the night of September 7–8, 2025. This rare event is special because it coincides with the Corn Moon, the traditional harvest full moon of September.
Unlike solar eclipses, which are visible only from certain regions, this lunar eclipse will be seen across a wide part of the world. People in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia will get a clear view. In India, the entire eclipse will be visible late at night, making it a must-watch for skywatchers.
The lunar eclipse will unfold in different phases, beginning with a penumbral stage and reaching its peak when the Moon turns deep red. Here are the important timings for India (IST):

The September lunar eclipse will be visible across the whole country, but some places offer clearer skies and better views.
In most of these cities, the eclipse will begin late in the evening, making it easy to step outside and watch. The only requirement is a clear sky and an open view of the horizon.
