how long will the lunar eclipse last

The total lunar eclipse on September 7-8, 2025, will last for about 5 hours and 27 minutes in total duration. The phase of totality, when the Moon is completely covered by Earth's shadow, will last approximately 82 minutes (1 hour and 22 minutes) from 1:30 p.m. to 2:52 p.m. EDT (17:30 to 18:52 GMT). This is relatively long compared to typical total lunar eclipses and will present a striking "blood moon" appearance due to Earth's atmospheric effects on sunlight filtering through to the Moon.
