Stargazers across the Hunter are in for a rare celestial show, with a total lunar eclipse – or “Blood Moon” – set to appear in the early hours of Monday morning.
The eclipse will begin late Sunday night, with the total phase starting at around 3:30 am AEST. At its peak, just after 4:10 am, the moon will take on a striking red glow as it passes through Earth’s shadow. The full totality will last for about 82 minutes, before the moon gradually returns to its usual brightness by dawn.
The Hunter region is perfectly placed for viewing, with the entire eclipse visible from start to finish. Clear skies are forecast overnight, meaning excellent conditions for watching the event.
For the best view, head to a dark, open area away from city lights, or take advantage of local lookouts and rural vantage points with a clear horizon.
This will be the last total lunar eclipse of 2025 visible in Australia, making it a must-see for skywatchers.
👉 Set your alarm early Monday morning, grab a jacket, and don’t miss one of nature’s most spectacular light shows.
