On September 7, 2025, the sky will be the witness of a total lunar eclipse, known as “Sîngerie Moon”.
On the evening of September 7, 2025, the second (and last) total lunar eclipse this year will take
The total lunar eclipse takes place when the earth is between the full and sunny moon, the moon entering the shadow of our planet.
However, instead of disappearing in the dark, the shaded month will become red. This is due to a phenomenon called “Rayleigh scatter,” writes The Wired.
Visible sunlight, although it seems white, is actually made up of lights of different colors, which have different wavelengths, and they interact differently with the atmosphere of the earth when they pass through it.
During a monthly eclipse, the shorter wavelengths of the visible light, towards the blue end of the visible spectrum, spread outwards, away from the region shaded by the earth.
But those with longer wavelengths, towards the red side of the spectrum, are instead bent inwards and designed in the shaded region – and on the surface of the Moon.
The first monthly eclipse of this year, in March, was the best visible in the United States, but unfortunately, if you are in Europe, you will miss the opportunity to see the Sîngenie live this time.
