Total Lunar Eclipse 2025 (Chand Grahan) is all set to occur on the night of 7th September in Pakistan and Other Countries. A total lunar eclipse will be accompanied by a “Blood Moon,” as the moon will appear reddish during the total phase on the night of September 7-8, 2025. There will be a total lunar eclipse and a Blood Moon on a single day.
A blue moon is a full moon that occurs twice in a month. On the other hand, the super moon appears slightly bigger because it is closer to the Earth’s surface in its slightly elliptical orbit. A blood moon, on the other hand, turns red when Earth’s shadow casts its spell at the time of a lunar eclipse.
This is the first time in 2025, when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up, the shadow cast by the planet on its comset makes it look sinister, deep red colour that has surprised humans for millennia.
