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 20 Dec 2029 lunar eclipse visible?
Totality visible from Libya · Egypt · Malta · Tunisia · Sudan · Greece — partial phases from Japan · Ecuador · Guatemala · Chile — 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 37° above the horizon at maximum.
What time is the 20 Dec 2029 lunar eclipse in Delhi?
The partial (umbral) phase begins at 02:24 GMT+5:30, totality runs from 03:44 GMT+5:30 to 04:39 GMT+5:30, maximum is at 04:11 GMT+5:30 and the Moon leaves the umbra at 05:58 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 partial lunar eclipse of 28 Aug 2026. Orbital Radar tracks it live at https://orbitalradar.com/eclipse/2026-august-28-lunar.
