MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) announced on Tuesday that a lunar eclipse would occur in Manila and other parts of the country for almost an hour and a half in early September.

In a statement on its Facebook page on Tuesday, the weather bureau said the total lunar eclipse would be completely visible over East Africa, Asia, and Australia and will be seen from Sept. 7 to 8., This news data comes from:http://sqhtqgab.gangzhifhm.com

“Weather permitting, the public is encouraged to observe the moon directly overhead in the late evening of Sept. 7, 2025, and early morning of Sept. 8, 2025. The Penumbral Phase will begin at 11:27 p.m. on Sept. 7, 2025, followed by the Partial Lunar Eclipse Phase that will start after midnight at 12:27 a.m. The moon enters totality at 1:30 a.m., and the maximum eclipse occurs at 2:12 a.m. The partial lunar eclipse phase lasts until 2:53 a.m., and the Penumbral Phase ends at 3:57 a.m. The moon will exit the penumbral shadow at 4:57 a.m.,” the weather bureau explained.

“A total lunar eclipse is very easy to observe. A modest pair of binoculars will provide an excellent view of the moon's surface, but it is not required. Unlike solar eclipses, observing a lunar eclipse is completely safe and does not require protective eyewear,” they added.

The weather bureau said that the eclipse, the earth’s umbral shadow would obscure the 100 percent of the moon’s disk, and is called the “blood moon,” because of the reddish hue that the moon will adopt.
