Total Lunar Eclipse (7-8 September, 2025)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"An eclipse uniting 6 billion people\"<\/p>\n

ASI POEC Press Release on the Eclipse<\/a><\/h4>\n

On the night of 7th September 2025, we can see the dance of celestial shadows, as the Earth moves in between the Sun and the Moon, causing a Total Lunar Eclipse. The entire eclipse will be visible from all parts of India (which happened last in 2018 and will occur again only in 2028). We will be treated to a dark red coloured Moon, deep inside the Earth's umbral shadow, during the total eclipse phase, a beautiful natural display indeed.<\/p>\n

The Public Outreach and Education Committee (POEC) or the Astronomical Society of India (ASI) invites everyone to step outside with your friends, families, and neighbours, and witness this majestic spectacle that nature will orchestrate for a few hours. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you are organising a local event where members of the public can come and watch the eclipse with you, please register the details using this form<\/a>. We will then add your event to our online interactive map for everyone to know about. We can enjoy the eclipse without any telescope, so dont let the lack of equipment stop you!<\/p>\n
