The final lunar eclipse of 2025 will be a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, on the night of Sept. 7–8, 2025.

Lunar eclipses occur when the planet slides between the sun and the moon. That’s in contrast to a solar eclipse, which happens when the moon interjects between the other two bodies.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth gets between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to be projected onto the lunar surface. By definition, this can happen only during a full moon.
