The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has officially announced that a total lunar eclipse, also known as a "Blood Moon," will be visible across Pakistan tonight.
SUPARCO said: "Astronomy enthusiasts, students, and the general public will have the opportunity to witness this fascinating celestial phenomenon."
Notably, the blood moon 2025 will also be observable in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, as well as North and South America.

SUPARCO noted that the red moon in Pakistan will start at 8:28pm on September 7 and reach its maximum at 1:55am on September 8, when a portion of the moon will appear darkened as it passes through Earth’s shadow.
This celestial event occurs when the Earth positions itself directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface and giving it a reddish hue.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to observe with the naked eye, binoculars, or telescopes.
On the other hand, skywatchers in Europe and Africa will be able to see a partial lunar eclipse as the Moon rises during the early evening.
SUPARCO urges the public to observe the event and, where possible, join astronomy clubs and educational groups that will be hosting observation sessions in different parts of Pakistan.
Notably, later in the month, on September 21 and 22, the year’s second and final partial solar eclipse will occur, which will be visible from the southern parts of Australia, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica.
