A lunar eclipse, resulting in a “blood moon,” captivated skywatchers, though cloud cover delayed full visibility for many. The eclipse began with a subtle dimming of the moon’s usual white glow, gradually overtaken by the Earth‘s shadow.
the spectacle, visible on September 7, 2025, occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and moon, casting a shadow. Sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere gives the moon a reddish hue-hence the “blood moon” moniker-and these events happen, on average, twice a year.While the eclipse was underway, observers initially saw a slight brightening at the moon’s lower left edge, with the red glow slowly expanding to encompass the entire lunar surface.
The reddish coloration is caused by sunlight bending and scattering as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere. This phenomenon allows some light to reach the moon even during a total eclipse.
