Something strange to happen on September 7! Moon will be red, India to witness Blood Moon lunar eclipse at..., these places to..
On September 7, 2025, the world will witness a total lunar eclipse, during which the Moon will take on a striking red glow, popularly known as a Blood Moon. The eclipse will be visible in its full glory across Asia and Western Australia, while viewers in many other regions will be able to catch glimpses of its different phases.
According to the Space report, sky gazers in Asia and parts of Western Australia will experience the full total lunar eclipse from start to end on September 7. In comparison, viewers in Europe, Africa, eastern Australia, and New Zealand will be able to see the Moon during some of the eclipse phases, including totality.
The total lunar eclipse on September 7 will be best seen for those living in India, China, Russia, Western Australia, eastern Africa, and the Arab countries. The eclipse will not be seen in North America, although the partial lunar eclipse can be seen in the western parts of Alaska. In the UK and Western Europe, observers could see parts of the eclipse when the Moon rose.
In India, on September 7, the lunar eclipse will reportedly begin at 8:58 PM and end at 1:25 AM on September 8. At this point, the Moon will likely appear in shades of red or orange, also referred to as a Blood Moon.
According to the BBC Sky at Night Magazine, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned in a straight line. Usually, sunlight illuminates the Moon. But during a lunar eclipse, Earth is blocking the sunlight. Any sunlight that reaches the Moon during the eclipse will pass through Earth's atmosphere before it illuminates the Moon. The Earth's atmosphere refracts or bends, the sunlight before it reaches the Moon, changing how the sunlight colors the Moon.
A total lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow completely covers the Moon's surface. Although sunlight still reaches the moon, it first passes through the Earth's atmosphere, which filters and bends the light. Because the Earth's atmosphere scatters the shorter wavelengths, only red hues can fall on the Moon, allowing it to take on that color dramatically.
Here are the timings for the total lunar eclipse in key cities around the world on September 7–8, 2025:
Perth, Australia: 1:30 – 2:52 a.m. AWST (Monday, Sept. 8)
Mumbai, India: 11:00 p.m. – 12:22 a.m. IST (Sunday, Sept. 7 – Monday, Sept. 8)
Cairo, Egypt: 8:30 – 9:52 p.m. EEST (Sunday, Sept. 7)
Cape Town, South Africa: 7:30 – 8:52 p.m. SAST (Sunday, Sept. 7)
When sunlight reaches the atmosphere of Earth, the light scatters. Shorter wavelengths, like blue, scatter more than longer wavelengths like red. Red bends and continues when it reaches the Moon. And that is the reason a total lunar eclipse causes the moon to shine red or orange. This gives way to the term 'Blood Moon.'
As a fun fact, the total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, will also fall on the Corn Moon, which is one of the traditional names of the full moon occurring in early September. This full moon will also be a total eclipse, which could make it a 'Corn Moon Eclipse.' Unlike a Corn Moon, this will look much different. Instead of illuminating the moon in light, it will be shining from a reddish moon bathed in the shadow of planet Earth.

Explosions from the Sun could be secretly spiking your blood pressure
A new study from China has revealed that disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field, triggered by solar activity, may have a surprising impact on human health, particularly on blood research, carried out over six years in the cities of Qingdao and Weihai, examined more than half a million blood pressure compared these measurements with geomagnetic activity (GMA), which is caused by fluctuations in solar energy interacting with Earth's magnetic The findings, published in Communications Medicine, suggest that blood pressure levels rise and fall in patterns that mirror the intensity of geomagnetic disturbances.'We found that blood pressure and geomagnetic activity followed similar rhythms,' the researchers reported. Both showed cycles that repeated annually, every six months, and occasionally every three months. Interestingly, other well-known factors that influence blood pressure, such as air temperature and air pollution (PM2.5), did not show these repeating three-month cycles, suggesting that geomagnetic forces may be playing a distinct effect appears to be stronger during years of heightened solar activity, when geomagnetic storms are more frequent. In such periods, blood pressure responded more quickly to changes in the geomagnetic environment. Women's blood pressure, in particular, was found to be more sensitive to these shifts compared with study highlights potential risks for people with hypertension, a condition already affecting millions worldwide. 'Our results show that geomagnetic activity could aggravate blood pressure fluctuations, especially in vulnerable groups,' the authors added that greater awareness of this link could help doctors and policymakers take space weather into account when planning public health storms, which can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communication systems, are already closely monitored by scientists. This research adds another dimension, human biology, to the growing list of their possible say that while the exact mechanisms remain unclear, the findings open a new window into understanding how natural forces beyond Earth can influence human health. More research is needed to determine why geomagnetic activity affects blood pressure and how individuals can protect themselves during periods of high solar now, the study confirms that human beings are more connected to cosmic forces than we might imagine, our hearts and blood vessels may, quite literally, feel the pulse of the Sun.- EndsMust Watch

Astronomers discover mysterious ‘intestellar tunnels' in space. Here's more to it
Space is full of surprises, and it continues to baffle even experts! While most of us imagine our Solar System as planets surrounded by an empty void, astronomers are claiming that there's much more happening in the cosmic neighborhood. New studies conducted by astronomers at the Max Planck Institute, led by Dr. L. L. Sala and his colleagues have confirmed that the Sun sits inside a giant bubble of hot gas, and within it, there might be strange 'interstellar tunnels' connecting us to other star systems. New discovery indicates a network of "interstellar tunnels" connecting our Solar System with other stars.(Unsplash) A bubble born from explosions Decades of research has proved that the Solar System lies within a region of space known as the Local Hot Bubble (LBH) which spans across 300 light years, formed as a result of cosmic explosions called supernovas that occurred millions of years ago. These explosions caused the surrounding gas to heat up, resulting in a low-density, high-temperature environment, and traces of these activities are still present in the form of faint remnants of hot plasma. Dr. L. L. Sala and colleagues used data from the eRosita X-ray telescope to chart this region in unprecedented detail and Dr. Sala mentioned, 'We find the temperature of the LHB exhibits a north-south dichotomy at high latitudes,' in a paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. eRosita's research, combined with old data from ROSAT, another X-ray survey, indicate temperature differences across the region and faint traces of warm gas, dust cavities, and interstellar structures, offering the most refined picture yet of our cosmic neighborhood. Also read | Pune astronomers make vital space discovery: Galactic wind around tiny galaxy Intriguing cosmic channels The most intriguing finding from the study is what the team describes as 'interstellar tunnels' - channels of hot plasma that seem to extend from the Solar System, stretching towards the Centaurus constellation. Another such pathway appears to point towards Canis Major. These pathways, that could be part of a larger network of cosmic 'backroads,' connecting regions of the galaxy shaped by ancient supernovas, seem to cut through the hot plasma, forging channels between us and other distant star systems. The findings indicate that these may be part of a larger interconnected system stretching between star-forming regions and pockets of gas, lending weight to older theories about networks of dust cavities filled with hot gas resulting from supernova activities.

The research team has successfully mapped out parts of the LBH and its peculiar passages but much remains unclear. Some areas appear to be connected by cavities, while others are blocked, indicating that more advanced research models are required to understand them. Astronomers claim that advanced X-ray missions, deeper surveys, and more refined models of hot gas distribution are required in order to understand more. Mapping them further could reveal how they shape cosmic rays, dust flow, and stellar winds. The new discovery reiterates the fact that even our local space holds surprises, challenging old assumptions and adding complexity to what lies between the Solar System and other nearby stars. As technology improves, each new finding will not only answer questions but also uncover more, gradually reshaping our understanding of the cosmos.
