  • Moonrise: 19:34 BST (azimuth ~100° E)
  • Moonset (Mon 8 Sep): 05:43 BST
    Note: the Moon rises already in eclipse this evening, so it will look unusually dim and reddish close to the horizon. Face east with a clear, low view. (Time and Date)

Major UK cities (tonight)

Tip: because tonight coincides with a total lunar eclipse at moonrise, the Moon is very faint for the first ~20 minutes. Choose high ground or a seafront with an unobstructed eastern horizon. (Time and Date)

Why it looks red and dim

During a lunar eclipse, Earth’s shadow covers the Moon and the atmosphere filters sunlight, letting mostly red/orange light reach the lunar surface. That’s why the eclipsed Moon (the “Blood Moon”) can be hard to spot right at moonrise. (Time and Date)
