Stargazers will have a chance to see a “Blood Moon” on Sunday night during a total lunar eclipse visible across Asia and swathes of Europe and Africa. When the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, the shadow cast by the planet on its satellite makes it appear an eerie, deep red color that has astounded humans for millennia.

People in Asia, including India and China, will be best placed to see Sunday’s total eclipse, which will also be visible on the eastern edge of Africa as well as in western Australia. The total lunar eclipse will last from 1730 GMT to 1852 GMT. Stargazers in Europe and Africa will get a brief chance to see a partial eclipse just as the Moon rises during the early evening, while the Americas will miss out.

The Moon appears red during lunar eclipses because the only sunlight reaching it is “reflected and scattered through the Earth’s atmosphere,” Ryan Milligan explained. Blue wavelengths of light are shorter than red ones, so they are more easily dispersed as they travel through Earth’s atmosphere, he said. “That’s what gives the moon its red, bloody color.”

While special glasses or pinhole projectors are needed to safely observe solar eclipses, all that is required to see a lunar eclipse is clear weather—and being in the right spot. The last total lunar eclipse was in March this year, while the one before that was in 2022. Milligan, a self-described “solar eclipse chaser,” said he considered Sunday’s event a prelude to what he called the “big one” next year.

A rare total solar eclipse, when the Moon blocks out the light from the Sun, will be visible in a sliver of Europe on August 12, 2026. For more than a decade, Milligan has traveled the world to witness 12 totalities, which is when the Moon completely obscures the Sun.

In related news, check out this recent video from the “Trump Prophet” Brandon Biggs where he talks about what he sees coming for September and the Blood Moon:

He warned of a great economic crisis, describing it as a “1930s-style crash on steroids.” He spoke of a future with no middle class, only extreme poverty and wealth. The Lord showed him visions of homeless people in cities, widespread foreclosures, and a surge in violence against women. He also predicted major sporting teams filing for bankruptcy due to financial collapse, as well as a spiritual reckoning within the church.

Biggs described a coming “shaking to awaken” that would expose hidden sin and compromise among leaders. He warned of global upheaval, including a massive hurricane hitting Florida and a “harvest” of consequences for those involved in corruption and exploitation. He called on people to repent and prepare spiritually, emphasizing the urgency of aligning with divine will.

He also referenced political events involving Zelenskiy, stating that peace agreements were being negotiated but urging vigilance against deception. The Lord’s message was clear: a time of judgment and transformation is approaching, demanding humility, faith, and action.

Biggs concluded with a call for unity, prayer, and readiness, stressing the need to seek God amid uncertainty. He urged listeners to embrace repentance and live with purpose, as the world stands on the brink of significant change.
