This coming September 7 just before midnight of September 8, there will be a total lunar eclipse that will be visible in the Philippines as well as Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe. This is the 2nd total lunar eclipse for this year 2025 but the 1st one which happened on March 13-14, 2025 was not visible in the Philippines and Asia.
The eclipse will start with the Moon entering into the penumbral shadow of Earth at around 11:28pm of September 7th with the Moon situated 68 deg high above the Southern horizon. Moon will enter umbra or dark shadow of Earth at 12:27am and gradually entering fully into the Earth’s shadow at totality at 01:31am . Maximum totality will occur at 02:12am with the Moon at 50 deg high in the constellation of Aquarius. Totality will last about 1 hour 22 minutes. The Moon will exit totality at 02:53am and gradually exits the umbral shadow by 03:57am with the Moon still 27 deg high above the Western horizon. Lastly, the Mon will finally exit the penumbral shadow at 04:55am with the Moon still 13 deg above the Western horizon thus ending the eclipse in its entirely.

Stages of the Nov. 8, 2022 Total Lunar Eclipse through maximum total eclipse.
The eclipse started off with some clouds over the Moon, and then high thin clouds took over. The eclipsed Moon was quite dark, likely due to the low elevation and thin clouds. First two images had the Moon inside the penumbra, the lighter shadow of the Earth.
Individual images were taken with a Nikon DSLR with a Tamron 18-400mm telephoto lens set at 400 mm, with a 2x teleplus.

On the early evening of November 8, 2022, there will be a total lunar eclipse that will be visible in the Philippines as well as from Asia, Australia, North America, parts of northern and eastern Europe, and most of South America. The Moon will rise with more or less 25% umbral partial phase already at 05:19 pm PST (Philippine Standard Time) so it is best to find an observing site with a clear eastern horizon. This eclipse will pass almost centrally along the Earth’s shadow thus totality for this eclipse will be long at around 1 hour 26 minutes! Moon will enter Totality at around 06:16 pm PST with maximum totality phase occurring at 6:59pm PST with the Moon at around 22 deg high in the eastern horizon near the constellation of Aries. Totality will end at around 07:42 pm PST. Afterwards, the Moon will gradually start to exit the umbral shadow until it exits umbral phase at around 08:49 pm PST. The Moon will totally exits the penumbral phase at 09:56pm PST signifying the end of the eclipse event.
The Moon is expected to be dark red in color during totality as it will almost pass the center of Earth’s umbral shadow thus it is favorable for imagers who have a motorized tracking mount or use a higher ISO to compensate for longer exposure needed. Good luck to all and clear skies!
