The eclipse on September 7 will be total — the satellite of our planet will completely disappear into its shadow, acquiring a reddish hue. This can only happen on a full moon, provided that the Earth, Moon, and Sun are on the same line. The next time this happens will be in March 2026, and then in December 2028.

According to the press service of the Moscow Planetarium, the eclipse on September 7 will be central. This means that the moon will pass through the center of the earth's shadow. These kinds of eclipses are considered the longest and most spectacular. In this case, the upper (northern) edge of the celestial body will look the darkest.
