India, Sept. 6 -- A total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon, will be visible overnight Sunday, September 7, and the early hours of Monday, September 8. While people in Asia, Western Australia, and Europe will get to see it, many others can watch it online for free.

According to Time and Date, nearly 77 per cent of the world's population will be able to see the total phase of the eclipse. A blood moon happens when Earth's shadow fully covers the moon, making it look deep red or orange.

The lunar eclipse will reach its maximum phase at 5:11 pm EDT (9:11 pm GMT) on Sept. 7. Totality, when the moon is fully inside Earth's shadow, will last about 82 minutes, as per Space.com.
