Blood Moon 2025: Where the total lunar eclipse can be seen on September 7 in Germany

On the evening of September 7, 2025, it's worth gazing up at the night sky, because a very special natural spectacle will take place. The Earth will move between the sun and the full moon. This will prevent the sun's light from directly reaching the moon, causing it to disappear into the Earth's umbra—creating a total lunar eclipse .

Nevertheless, we can see the Moon from Earth – not as the usual white celestial sphere, but bathed in a coppery-red light. This is because the Earth's atmosphere filters the sunlight and scatters only the red components of the light into the Earth's shadow. This causes the full Moon to glow red. This is why it is also called a blood moon.

In Germany , only a portion of the spectacle can be seen. We can't observe the first partial phase of the lunar eclipse here. This means we can't witness the moon being partially obscured by the Earth's shadow. However, the total lunar eclipse phase can be observed in the sky. On a clear day, you can marvel at the blood-red full moon in all its glory.

The online portal “timeanddate” has broken down exactly what time and in which phase the lunar eclipse will appear over Germany on September 7th:

The lunar eclipse can be observed throughout Asia , Europe , and Africa . According to "timeanddate," approximately 87 percent of the world's population will be able to witness parts of the celestial spectacle.

The copper-red moon was last observed in Germany in March. The next total lunar eclipse will be visible here on December 31, 2028. A partial lunar eclipse will be visible over Germany as early as August 28, 2026.
