"It should be visible to people in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The best views will be in the Eastern Atlantic, over an area encompassing African countries like Nigeria, as well as from countries in the Indian Ocean region, like India and Indonesia. If you're in the Eastern regions, you're more likely to catch it at moonset, while if you're more to the West, you'll see it at moonrise."
"We've all seen those sci-fi-like images of hordes staring intently up at the sky, wearing futuristic-looking protective eyewear (because you should never look directly at the sun). Lunar eclipses, on the other hand, seem to rank lower in the imagination. Perhaps that has to do with the fact that the only time you can see them is when it's dark, when lots of people are already in bed... or clubbing."
A total lunar eclipse will occur on September 7, 2025 and will be visible across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, with the fullest point at 6:12 p.m. UTC. The best viewing zones include the Eastern Atlantic near parts of Africa such as Nigeria and Indian Ocean-region countries like India and Indonesia. Observers in eastern locations will tend to see the eclipse at moonset, while western observers will see it at moonrise. Lunar and solar eclipses occur with roughly equal frequency, about twice a year. Total lunar eclipses cast the moon into Earth's umbra and often tint it blood-red, and no special eyewear or telescope is required to view one on a clear night.
