The Total Lunar Eclipse

A composite image captures the stages of the total lunar eclipse in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on September 7, 2025, highlighting the moon's blood-red hue during totality. On the night of September 7, people across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia observe a total lunar eclipse. It is visible to nearly 77% of the total world population. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon's surface. This blocks direct sunlight, often giving the Moon a reddish hue due to Rayleigh scattering. (Photo by Isura Nimantha/NurPhoto)
