Get ready to witness a spectacular celestial show! On September 7, 2025, a Total Lunar Eclipse, also called a “Blood Moon,” will grace the night sky. This rare event happens when Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, turning it a striking red.
Jyotirvidya Parisanstha (JVP) invites the public to join a special viewing program at Kesariwada JVP Observatory from 8:30 PM until midnight. Telescopic views of the Moon and planets—including a possible glimpse of Saturn—will be available if skies are clear.
