Watch the Blood Moon Rise Over the Thar Desert This September
The New Indian Express Tadepalligudem
|August 07, 2025
If you've ever dreamt of watching the cosmos come alive from a desert dune, mark your calendars. From 6th to 8th September 2025, Starscapes—India's leading astro-tourism company—is offering an extraordinary opportunity to witness a total lunar eclipse from the heart of the Thar Desert at Shama Desert Camp, Jaisalmer.
Set against one of India's darkest skies, far from the haze of city lights, this two-night event promises front-row seats to a rare Blood Moon—a dramatic celestial spectacle where Earth's shadow casts the Moon in striking shades of crimson. As the Moon moves through its penumbral, partial and total eclipse phases, expert astronomers will provide real-time commentary, unraveling the science, myths and cultural lore surrounding this age-old phenomenon.
