Skywatchers in Bangladesh are set for a spectacular celestial event this month as the full Corn Moon rises on the night of September 7, 2025. This year, the September full moon will coincide with a total lunar eclipse, creating the breathtaking sight popularly known as a “blood moon.”
The Corn Moon, named after the traditional harvest season, will appear larger and brighter in the night sky before gradually taking on a deep reddish hue as the Earth’s shadow engulfs it. According to astronomers, this will be one of the most dramatic lunar displays visible in recent years.
The eclipse timeline for Bangladesh (BST) is as follows:
- Penumbral phase begins: 9:28 p.m., September 7
- Total eclipse starts: 11:30 p.m.
- Maximum eclipse: 12:11 a.m., September 8
- Total eclipse ends: 12:52 a.m.
- Event concludes: 2:55 a.m., September 8
The entire phenomenon will last for over five hours, giving stargazers plenty of time to witness the transformation. The event will be fully visible across Bangladesh, requiring nothing more than clear skies and an open view of the horizon. Telescopes or special equipment are not necessary to enjoy the view, making it accessible to everyone.
Astronomy enthusiasts and casual skywatchers alike are encouraged to step outside and experience this natural wonder. With the moon glowing in shades of copper and crimson, the Corn Moon eclipse promises to be a rare and memorable night in Bangladesh’s skywatching calendar.
