Total Lunar Eclipse In Iran
Iranian astronomy enthusiasts observe the ''blood moon'' through telescopes during a total lunar eclipse viewing event in Mini World Tourist Complex in the city of Malayer in Hamedan province, 391 km (243 miles) southwest of Tehran, Iran, on September 7, 2025. This total lunar eclipse, also known as a ''Blood Moon,'' takes place on September 7-8, 2025, casting the Moon into Earth's shadow and bathing it in a deep red hue during its approximately 82-minute totality. It is visible to an estimated 77-85 percent of the global population, or well over 7 billion people across Asia, Europe, Africa, and parts of Australia. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
