A total lunar eclipse will be visible on Sunday, September 7, 2025, across Nigeria, Ghana, and several other nations in West Africa. The eclipse is expected to start around 8:00 PM West Africa Time and will last approximately 83 minutes. During the eclipse, the moon will pass into the Earth’s shadow, turning a reddish hue often called a “Blood Moon.” This celestial event will be observable as the moon rises or is already above the horizon in these countries.
The total phase of the eclipse will peak around 7:11 PM local time in Lagos, Nigeria, and similar times in Ghana, with the entire event spanning over three hours including penumbral and partial phases. It offers a rare opportunity for sky watchers and astronomy enthusiasts in the region to witness this spectacular phenomenon.
The lunar eclipse is a natural event occurring when the Earth obstructs sunlight from directly reaching the moon, casting a shadow that darkens and colors the moon during the totality phase. This event will be seen by billions worldwide including large parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia.
