On the evening of September 7, the second (and final) total lunar eclipse of the year will take place—serving up the striking sight of a red “blood moon” in the sky across much of the world. Total lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned between the full moon and the sun, with the moon falling into the shadow of our planet. These maps from Timeanddate.com show where on the planet the total eclipse can be seen. This total lunar eclipse will occur just under three days before the moon reaches perigee, the point at which it is closest to Earth, which means that it appear slightly larger than average during the event. After September 7, the next total lunar eclipse won’t happen until early March 2026—but luckily for those in the US, it will be visible in North America, Australia, and east Asia.
