The first full moon lunar eclipse of 2025 captivated sky enthusiasts in regions spanning from North and South America to Europe, Africa, and some parts of Asia. Known as the “Red Wolf Full Moon,” this unique natural event saw the Moon enter the Earth’s shadow, turning it into a dazzling red color.

In the city of El Paso, Texas, USA, the most impressive moments of the eclipse began at 00:26 local time and ended at 01:31. It was an unforgettable night for sky enthusiasts. The Red Wolf Full Moon is the name given to the first full moon lunar eclipse of 2025. This designation stems from the traditional name “Wolf Moon” given to full moons that occur in January and the reddish hue the Moon takes on during the eclipse.

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow completely covers the Moon, and sunlight filters through the Earth’s atmosphere to reach the Moon’s surface. As blue and green wavelengths are filtered out during this process, red and orange tones are reflected onto the Moon, giving it a blood red or coppery appearance. The Red Wolf Full Moon enhances the atmosphere of the year’s first full moon even further annually.
