But PAGASA acting administrator Vicente Malano said only the last stages of the eclipse may be visible in the Philippines, due to the position of the moon.
"The eclipse will begin at 12:53 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PST) and will end at 6:37 p.m. PST," Malano said.
"Lunar eclipses are safe to watch and observers need not use any kind of protective filters for the eyes. A pair of binocular(s) will help magnify the view and will make the red coloration of the Moon brighter," he added.
In Manila, Malano said the Moon will rise at 6:12 p.m. on April 15 and will set at 5:26 a.m. on April 16.
On the other hand, Malano said the entire event can be seen from western Africa, western Europe, the Americas, Australasia and eastern Asia.
PAGASA said the greatest eclipse is at 3:45 p.m. GMA
Some believes that this Blood Moon has something to signify. Others asked "Is this the end of the World?"
Three mentions of Blood Moons in the Bible
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. (Joel 2:30-31, NIV)
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. (Acts 2:20, NIV)
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, (Revelation 6:12, NIV)
World Time
If the sky is clear Monday night, stargazers will be treated to a lunar eclipse. During the event, the moon will become eerily orange and red. North and South America are in perfect position to view this spectacular event.
Also called blood moons, total lunar eclipses occur approximately twice a year when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow, or umbra. (allvoices)
