Stargazers on nearly one half of the world witnessed a total lunar eclipse overnight, as a rare cosmic lineup caused the moon to turn a shade of red.

The next total lunar eclipse will be on Sept. 7-8, 2025, visible in parts of Asia and Australia, with totality lasting 82 minutes.

According to Dr. Angela Speck, a professor of astrophysics and department chair for physics and astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio, the "blood moon" total lunar eclipse will be visible across the U.S. and no special equipment will be necessary to view it.
