A total lunar eclipse, commonly known as a “Blood Moon,” will be observable throughout Pakistan on the evening of Sunday, September 7, 2025.
As stated by Professor Dr Muhammad Jawed Iqbal, the Director of the Institute of Space Science and Technology (ISST) at the University of Karachi, the complete eclipse can be seen from Pakistan, assuming that weather conditions are favorable.
He also confirmed that the university’s observatory will be accessible for public viewing.
Eclipse Timeline and Details
The event will occur in stages, starting with a penumbral eclipse at 8:28 p.m. (PST). This first phase indicates the Moon’s entry into the Earth’s faint outer shadow, although the dimming may not be apparent to the average observer.
The partial eclipse will commence at 9:27 p.m., when the Earth’s darker central shadow begins to cover the Moon, creating the illusion of a “bite” taken from its surface.
At 10:31 p.m., the Moon will be completely engulfed by the Earth’s umbra, signaling the beginning of the total eclipse phase. During this time, the Moon will take on a reddish-orange hue due to sunlight filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere—a visual phenomenon that leads to the term “Blood Moon.”
