how long will the blood moon last uk

The blood moon total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, will last for about 82 minutes of totality in the UK, but the duration visible depends on the location because the Moon rises during the eclipse. In eastern England, observers will see the longest part of the total eclipse phase for up to about 27 minutes, while in western parts of the UK, the visibility of totality is much shorter or the eclipse will only be partial. The overall lunar eclipse event, including partial phases, lasts approximately 2 hours and 22 minutes after moonrise for UK observers. The partial eclipse continues after totality ends, followed by the penumbral phase until just before 10 pm BST. The total lunar eclipse is visible starting roughly around moonrise at 19:25 to 19:57 BST, depending on location, with totality ending around 19:52 BST as the Moon clears the horizon in the UK.
