The Total Lunar Eclipse | @ Chennai
Blessed Darshan of the Blood Moon Today

A one-of-its-kind celestial occurrence occurred on the night of 7th September 2025 in Chennai.
It was a total lunar eclipse, that was fully visible from Chennai.

The Penumbral Eclipse began sharp at 8:58 PM on 7th September 2025, followed by the Partial Eclipse at 9:57 PM.
We were all busy exchanging night sky photos with sky gazers of our ilk. Some from Nungambakkam complained that, the night sky was quite cloudy, hiding the celestial occurrence from view.
However, we were able to catch a beautiful glimpse of the total lunar eclipse right from the penumbral to the maximal – that occurred at 11.41 pm.

Well, a total lunar eclipse is often referred to as a Blood Moon because the Moon takes on a deep reddish hue during totality. And this happens when sunlight is filtered through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering the blue light and allowing only the longer, red wavelengths to reach the Moon.
On the whole – a lovely celestial darshan in a long time! 😊
