ISLAMABAD (Sep 6) – The Pakistan Meteorological Department has confirmed that a rare Blood Moon will be visible in Pakistan for the very first time during a total lunar eclipse on the night of September 7-8, 2025.
The celestial event will begin at 8:28 pm with the penumbral phase, followed by a partial eclipse at 9:27 pm, reaching its peak at 11:12 pm when the moon will glow deep red. The total eclipse will end at 1:55 am, lasting for an impressive 5 hours and 27 minutes overall.
Astronomers explain that the red glow occurs as sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere and reflects onto the lunar surface.
This rare sight will not only be visible in Pakistan but also across Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and parts of the Pacific Ocean. ends
