Safe to watch with the naked eye

A lunar eclipse needs no eye protection — you are looking at the Moon, not the Sun. Binoculars or a small telescope make the shadow's curved edge and the colours of totality far more vivid. The copper-red "blood moon" is Earth's sunrises and sunsets projected onto the Moon. Eye protection is only ever needed for solar eclipses →

Questions people ask

FAQ
Where is the 31 Dec 2028 lunar eclipse visible?
Totality visible from Vietnam · China · Hong Kong · Thailand · Taiwan · Philippines — partial phases from Nigeria · Ghana · Côte d'Ivoire — unlike a solar eclipse there is no narrow path: everyone on the night side of Earth sees the same eclipse at the same instant. From Delhi the Moon is 62° above the horizon at maximum.
What time is the 31 Dec 2028 lunar eclipse in Delhi?
The partial (umbral) phase begins at 20:37 GMT+5:30, totality runs from 21:45 GMT+5:30 to 22:58 GMT+5:30, maximum is at 22:21 GMT+5:30 and the Moon leaves the umbra at 00:06 GMT+5:30 (all times Delhi local). The instants are the same worldwide; only the local clock time differs.
Do I need eclipse glasses for a lunar eclipse?
No. A lunar eclipse is completely safe to watch with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope — you are looking at the Moon, not the Sun. Eye protection is only for SOLAR eclipses.
Why does the Moon turn red during a total lunar eclipse?
Inside Earth's umbra the only light reaching the Moon has been bent and filtered through Earth's atmosphere — effectively every sunrise and sunset on Earth projected onto the Moon at once. Blue light scatters away, red gets through, so the Moon glows copper-red: the "blood moon". Dust and volcanic ash in the atmosphere make it darker.
When is the next eclipse?
The next eclipse is the annular solar eclipse of 6 Feb 2027 — Southern Chile · Argentina (Mar del Plata) · South Atlantic · West Africa (Abidjan · Accra · Lagos). Orbital Radar tracks it live at https://orbitalradar.com/eclipse/2027-february-6.
