🌕✨ Get ready, skywatchers! This Sunday, 7th September, the UK has a dazzling celestial treat in store: a total lunar eclipse, commonly known as a “Blood Moon”! 🌙🔴
Picture this: Earth, Moon, and Sun are perfectly aligned, and our planet casts its shadow over the Moon, turning it a stunning orange-red hue. This breathtaking spectacle is one you won’t want to miss.
🔭 Key Details:
– **Date:** Sunday, 7th September 2025
– **Maximum Eclipse:** 7:11 PM BST (unfortunately below the horizon), so keep an eye out as the Moon rises around 7:30 PM BST.
– **Total Eclipse Duration:** Until 7:52 PM BST
– **Partial Eclipse Ends:** 8:56 PM BST
– **Event Wraps Up:** By 9:55 PM BST
For the best view, grab a spot with a clear view of the eastern horizon. Hills or rooftops are perfect — just ensure no trees or buildings block your sightline. As the Moon climbs higher in the sky, watch it transition through beautiful shades of red and orange.
Great news: Unlike solar eclipses, it’s completely safe to enjoy this event with the naked eye. But if you have binoculars or a telescope, they’ll bring you even closer to the lunar magic.
🌤️ Heads up! Keep an eye on the weather forecast to make sure there are clear skies for this sky-high event.
Let’s hope for a clear night so we can all marvel at the wonder of space together. Enjoy the cosmic show! 😊✨
