Topline
September’s full moon lit up the night sky across the world overnight on Sept. 7, 2025, with half the globe also seeing the full moon totally eclipsed by Earth. Across Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe — not in North America — the full corn moon drifted into Earth’s dark central shadow, turning a spectacular reddish-orange color for 82 minutes. The alignment of the full moon with Earth and the sun also set up a deep solar eclipse on Sept. 21, 2025. Key Facts
The total lunar eclipse occurred between 15:28 and 20:55 UTC on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, with totality — when the lunar surface was a reddish-orange color — lasting 82 minutes. It was streamed live from Cyprus by TimeandDate.com, where it can be replayed.
From Istanbul, Turkey, to Sydney, Australia, via Tehran, Cairo, Cape Town, Nairobi, Beijing and Tokyo, almost five billion people live in the region where the total lunar eclipse was visible.
