Total moonshine: huge spectacle over Baden-Württemberg!
On Sunday evening, September 7th, 2025, people in Germany experienced a spectacular spectacle in the night sky: a total lunar eclipse. How tagesschau.de Reportedly, the moon began to enter Earth's penumbra around 5:30 p.m. An hour later, at 6:30 p.m., it began its journey into the umbra. The peak, the total phase, began at 7:30 p.m. and lasted until shortly before 9 p.m.
What was special about this lunar eclipse? During the event, the moon shimmered with a reddish light, a fascinating natural spectacle caused by the refraction of the sun's rays in the Earth's atmosphere. The intensity of the reddish shimmer varied depending on the smog in the air. Citizens were invited to observe the impressive phenomenon at various locations in Baden-Württemberg, including the observatories in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Aalen.
Looking into the future: next lunar eclipse
There is good news for everyone who missed the eclipse or wants to see more: The next total lunar eclipse in Germany has already been determined and will take place on December 31, 2028. How timeanddate.de explained, this event will be visible not only in Germany, but also in numerous other major cities such as Athens, Shanghai, and New Delhi.
The total eclipse at the end of the year will reach a magnitude of 1.246 and have a total duration of 5 hours and 36 minutes, with the total phase lasting more than an hour. It is estimated that over 6.6 billion people worldwide will be able to view the total phases of the eclipse. An exciting number that fuels the anticipation of this natural spectacle.
What exactly happens during a lunar eclipse?
For the curious among us, it's good to know that a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon, when the moon passes directly through the Earth's shadow. On a typical evening, weather permitting, there's nothing better than watching nature through an experience like this. And how often does it happen that several eclipses occur in a row? A real spectacle that not only attracts astronomy lovers.
The next total lunar eclipse in North America and Asia will be visible as early as March 3, 2026. So the only thing left for stargazers to say is: keep your eyes open to the sky and keep a close eye on everything!
