Lunar Eclipse over China
Did you seen the Blood Moon? A spectacular total lunar eclipse graced the skies until the early hours of Sept. 8, 2025! The Moon was at its roundest and reddest at 2:12 am Beijing Time on Monday, Sept. 7, 2025.
During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the Sun’s light hitting the Moon. This means that during the night, a full Moon fades away as Earth’s shadow covers it up.
The Moon can also look reddish because Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the other colors while it bends sunlight toward the Moon. Sunlight bending through the atmosphere and absorbing other colors is also why sunsets are orange and red.
During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is shining from all the sunrises and sunsets occurring on Earth.
