A relatively rare celestial spectacle is scheduled for Sunday: weather permitting, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in Austria and can be seen in its entirety. The moon will rise at 7:21 p.m. (Vienna time) before the start of totality. While the first lunar eclipse of the year on March 14 was relatively modest, with the moon setting when only nine percent of it was eclipsed, the upcoming eclipse is one of the highlights of the 2025 astronomical year.
On Sunday, 86 percent of the Earth’s surface will already be immersed in the Earth’s umbra at moonrise, and in Bregenz, the moon will rise completely eclipsed at 7:46 p.m. The total eclipse will begin at 7:30 p.m. and last until 8:53 p.m., with maximum eclipse at 8:12 p.m. At 9:57 p.m., the cosmic shadow play will end as the moon emerges from the Earth’s umbra. On Friday, Geosphere Austria told the APA that weather conditions in Austria are expected to be “fairly decent” and relatively stable, but thin, high veil clouds (cirrus clouds) could impair visibility. The next lunar eclipse visible from Austria—a partial one—will take place on August 28, 2026. The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible in its entirety from Vienna will not be until December 31, 2028.
