A total lunar eclipse, also called Chandra Grahan, lit up the skies on September 7-8, 2025. The eclipse was seen in India, Australia, the Far East, the Middle East, Europe and parts of Africa. The Moon turned coppery red at 11:01 pm, creating the rare ‘Blood Moon’. People across cities like Delhi, Lucknow and Chennai gathered to watch the event, though cloudy skies spoiled views in some places. Many astronomy groups live-streamed the eclipse. Experts explained the red color comes from sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere. The next total lunar eclipse visible in India will occur on December 31, 2028. (PC: X)
