Residents took to telescopes to witness a total lunar eclipse in the capital on Thursday evening (Sept. 7). The rare celestial event returned to Indonesian skies after a three-year absence.

All stages of the so-called “blood moon” were visible to the naked eye, with the moon’s striking red hue making the spectacle especially memorable for skywatchers.

The eclipse began at 10:28 p.m. with the penumbral phase, peaked at 1:11 a.m. on Monday (Sept. 8), and ended at 3:55 a.m. It was among the most anticipated astronomical events of the year.

High-rise buildings in Jakarta have been shrouded in haze as Jakarta’s air pollution worsens. According to monitoring site IQAir, the city’s air quality index (AQI) reached 151 in recent days, placing Jakarta among the world’s five most polluted cities.

The reading falls under the “Unhealthy” category, posing respiratory risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and young children. Prolonged exposure may also damage plants and diminish the city’s environmental quality.

The Health Ministry has urged the public to take precautions, including wearing masks when outdoors, to minimize exposure to pollution.

In a meeting on Thursday at the Merdeka Palace, President Prabowo Subianto and his cabinet ministers discussed the government’s approach to managing the current national situation, especially with regard to mass protests.

Coordinating Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra said Prabowo gave a clear directive: all actions must conform with the rule of law and respect human rights.

“Mr President ensured that all measures taken were in line with the applicable legal framework, and we believe this was executed to the best extent possible,” said Yusril.

According to Yusril, his main responsibility as coordinating minister is to ensure that all law enforcement officers adhere to legal principles while protecting human rights. He stressed that any official who violates these principles will face legal consequences.

“Anyone who is summoned, questioned, or detained must be treated in accordance with legal principles and due process of law. Any authority who violates these will face prosecution,” he said.

The number of international travelers using the Whoosh fast train has continued to climb since its launch. Of the 528,000 foreign passengers recorded so far, Malaysian tourists make up the largest share, with 225,000 riders—about 43 percent.

The surge was especially noticeable in early September 2025, with an average of more than 750 Malaysians boarding Whoosh each day. Demand spikes even higher during long weekends celebrated in both Indonesia and Malaysia.

Eva Chairunisa, General Manager Corporate Secretary of PT KCIC, said Malaysian travelers’ trust proves that Whoosh has earned a reputation as a safe, comfortable, and reliable service, not only among Indonesians but also foreign visitors.
