On the night of September 7–8, 2025, a spectacular total lunar eclipse, widely known as a “Blood Moon,” illuminated the skies across Pakistan. Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) captured striking images of this celestial event from Quetta.
The phenomenon began when the moon’s brightness started to fade at 8:28 p.m. (PST). The partial eclipse commenced at 9:27 p.m., followed by the full total eclipse at 10:31 p.m.
At its peak at 11:12 p.m., the moon glowed in red hues before the total phase ended at 11:53 p.m. The partial eclipse continued until 12:57 a.m., concluding completely at 1:55 a.m. on September 8.
The phenomenon was also visible across much of the world, including Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. Observers in Europe and Africa witnessed a partial eclipse during moonrise, while viewers in the Americas missed the spectacle altogether.
