The moon will pass entirely into the Earth’s shadow, likely taking on a reddish hue
Dubai: A total lunar eclipse will be visible across Saudi Arabia and much of the Arab world on September 7, 2025, according to the Jeddah Astronomy Society.
The eclipse, expected to captivate skywatchers across the region, will be observable in several locations in the kingdom, including the Red Sea’s Umluj Islands, Amath and Riyadh.
During the event, the moon will pass entirely into the Earth’s shadow, likely taking on a reddish hue — a phenomenon popularly known as a “blood moon.”
The 2025 eclipse will be one of several lunar events over the coming years. A partial lunar eclipse is forecast for August 28, 2026, followed by a penumbral lunar eclipse on February 20, 2027, according to Time and Date.
