Lunar eclipse occurring on September 7, 2025: The blood moon makes an appearance over Mainz - Harvest moon will be shrouded, AAG Mainz extends an invitation to you
Total Lunar Eclipse to Grace Mainz Skies on September 7, 2025
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as the first full moon of autumn, known as the Harvest Moon, will appear during a total lunar eclipse on Sunday, September 7, 2025. This event will cast a deep, dark red hue over the moon, a phenomenon commonly referred to as a "blood moon".
The total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, including the city of Mainz. For those in Mainz, the observatory, operated by an organization yet to be explicitly named in the search results, offers a prime spot to witness this cosmic event.
To maximise your chances of viewing the eclipse, find a high spot with an unobstructed view of the horizon. The Laubenheimer Height or the fields near Klein-Winternheim are recommended for observing the event. Alternatively, you can visit the observatory of the Mainz Astronomical Society of the AAG Mainz, which is expected to be open to visitors from 7:30 PM, weather permitting.
In case you miss the total lunar eclipse, there's another opportunity to witness a partial lunar eclipse on August 28, 2026. The Laubenheimer Height or the fields near Klein-Winternheim are again recommended for this event.
Interested parties can find detailed data and facts about moon phases in Mainz on the "TimeandDate" website. For directions to the observatory and a map, visit the website of the operating organisation.
The last time a similar spectacle was observed over Mainz was in January 2019. The next total lunar eclipse visible over Germany will not be until December 31, 2028.
Weather forecasts predict clear skies, increasing the likelihood of seeing the celestial event. So, mark your calendars for Sunday, September 7, 2025, and prepare for an unforgettable night under the stars. The blood moon will rise over Mainz, offering a mesmerising sight that will light up the night sky.
