How to See the Total Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon on September 7


Viewers in Africa, Asia, and Australia will be able to see the blood moon in the sky—but those in the Americas will have to settle for a live feed this time around.

This year’s first lunar eclipse, back in March, was best viewed from the United States, but unfortunately if you’re in the Americas you’re going to miss seeing the blood moon live this time. This total lunar eclipse will occur just under three days before the moon reaches perigee, the point at which it is closest to Earth, which means that it appear slightly larger than average during the event. After September 7, the next total lunar eclipse won’t happen until early March 2026—but luckily for those in the US, it will be visible in North America, Australia, and east Asia.
