KARACHI – The upcoming total lunar eclipse or chand grahan of 2025 will occur on 7 and 8 September 2025, as per the data available on official website of the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
A lunar eclipse takes place when the sun, earth, and moon align so that the moon passes into earth’s shadow. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire moon falls within the darkest part of earth’s shadow, called the umbra.
When the moon is within the umbra, it appears red-orange. Such lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons” because of this colour.
