Experience The Final Blood Moon Of 2025: Top Destinations To See The Total Lunar Eclipse

On the evening of September seventh and eighth, 2025, the heavens will come alive with the last total lunar eclipse of the year a dazzling phenomenon often called the Blood Moon because of the striking red glow it will wear. Spread over five hours, this cosmic performance will be seen from wide swathes of the globe, giving anyone with clear skies a front-row seat to one of nature's grand finales. If you're thinking of hitting the road to catch it, this eclipse is a perfect excuse to blend breathtaking astronomy with travel in some of the world's most scenic spots.

For tourists visiting countries in the western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, or Antarctica, the eclipse will also be visible. While it is unfortunate for North America, where the moon will have already set, the western tip of Alaska may still witness a partial phase of the eclipse. In the UK and western Europe, travellers may be able to catch a glimpse of the totality as the moon rises.
