    For those interested in celestial events:

    There will be a full lunar eclipse this weekend visible from the Philippines. This is known as a Blood Moon.

    The celestial event will begin at 11:27 p.m. on September 7, but the totality will not start until 1:30 a.m. on September 8, with the maximum phase expected at 2:12 a.m. (from Pagasa).

    During the maximum eclipse, the shadow cast by the Earth will totally cover the Moon. The red coloration is due to the Earth's atmosphere filtering and scattering sunlight, allowing only the red wavelengths to reach and illuminate the lunar surface.

    Binoculars can provide an excellent view but are not necessary (and never to be used in a Solar Eclipse, of course).

    Interested yes, but I've seen plenty lunar eclipses in the past, so I will pass on this one (too late for my old bones lol).
