A blood moon from the edge of the world 🩸🌕 On 8 September 2025, between 1:00 and 4:00 in the morning at Concordia Station in Antarctica, the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022 cast its shadow across the sky. While around 85% of the world’s population had a chance to see this eclipse, the crew at one of Earth’s most isolated outposts captured it from a truly unique vantage point — perched on Dome C plateau, after months of polar night and temperatures as low as –80 °C. As Earth’s shadow curved across the lunar surface, the Moon slowly glowed red — a cosmic reminder of our planet’s rotation, our shared sky, and the beauty seen from even the most remote corners of Earth. Each year, we support a medical doctor at Concordia to study how humans adapt to such extremes — research that helps prepare us for future missions to the Moon and Mars. 📸 DC21/@europeanspaceagency /IPEV/ @italiantartide – @clem_antarctique 📹 DC21/ESA/IPEV/PNRA – J.
