what kind of eclipse is tonight

Tonight's eclipse on September 14, 2025, is a total lunar eclipse. This eclipse will cause the moon to pass completely into Earth's shadow, turning it a deep red color, often called a "Blood Moon." The totality phase of the lunar eclipse lasts about 82 minutes, and it is visible in regions including parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The Americas will largely miss this event. This eclipse is the second of two eclipses in September 2025, followed by a partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025. The total lunar eclipse is visible safely with the naked eye and occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon at full moon phase.
