CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Skywatchers across Asia are set for a celestial spectacle this weekend as a total lunar eclipse will be visible on Sunday, September 8, 2025, beginning at 8:12 p.m. (Asia time).

During the event, the Earth’s shadow will completely cover the moon, creating a dramatic sight often referred to as a “blood moon.” The eclipse will be observable in many parts of Asia, giving millions of viewers a clear vantage point of the rare phenomenon.

Astronomers note that this lunar eclipse will be followed by another striking event two weeks later. On September 22, 2025, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from New Zealand, parts of Australia, and certain areas of Antarctica.

Experts advise astronomy enthusiasts to prepare early for the lunar eclipse and, for the solar eclipse, to use proper eye protection if they are within the viewing area.

These back-to-back astronomical events highlight September as a significant month for skywatchers worldwide.

The moon’s vanishing act will be followed two weeks later by a partial solar eclipse visible from New Zealand, a sliver of Australia and Antarctica.
