Total Lunar Eclipse In Iran
The blood moon is pictured over the scale model of Iran's Persepolis headstones during a total lunar eclipse in the Mini World Tourist Complex in the city of Malayer, 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)
