Eclipse Recurrence — The Saros Cycle
The Saros cycle (6,585.3 days) is a period after which solar and lunar eclipses repeat with similar geometry. Each successive eclipse in the same Saros series shifts approximately 120° westward in longitude.

Total Lunar Eclipse — 07 September 2025
The Total Lunar Eclipse occurs onSunday, 07 September 2025at22:57:25 UTC UTC. It has a magnitude of1.0694 with a maximum duration of33min and a gamma value of -0.1252 (distance of the shadow axis from Earth's center, in Earth radii).
This eclipse is primarily visible from theSouthern Hemisphere. Visible from the night side of Earth — approximately half the world can observe this lunar eclipse.
All eclipse data is calculated using Jean Meeus's "Astronomical Algorithms" (Chapters 54 & 56) — the same mathematical foundation used by NASA's eclipse predictions. Times are in UTC. The next eclipse in the same Saros series will occur on19 September 2043.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
The Total Lunar Eclipse occurs on Sunday, 07 September 2025 at 22:57:25 UTC UTC. It is a lunar eclipse with a magnitude of 1.0694. Maximum duration is 33min.
The Total Lunar Eclipse is primarily visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Visible regions include: South America, Oceania, Africa, Antarctica, Asia. Visible from the night side of Earth — approximately half the world can observe this lunar eclipse.
The maximum duration of the Total Lunar Eclipse is 33min. This refers to the duration of totality — when the Moon is fully in Earth's shadow.
No special equipment is needed to watch a lunar eclipse. It is completely safe to view with the naked eye throughout the entire event. Binoculars or a telescope enhance the experience and show the shadow boundary more clearly.
Eclipse magnitude measures the fraction of the Sun's or Moon's diameter covered. A magnitude of 1.0694 means 100% coverage at greatest eclipse. Magnitude above 1.0 indicates a total eclipse — the body is fully covered.
Eclipses repeat in the Saros cycle of approximately 18 years and 11 days. The previous similar eclipse in the same Saros series was around August 2007. The next eclipse in the same Saros series will occur on 19 September 2043.
