Most nights, the Moon is just thereโshining with its calm silver glow. We see it on our way home, glance at it through the window, or sometimes ignore it completely because weโre too busy with whatโs happening around us.
But this September, the Moon is giving us a reason to stop, step outside, and look up. Something rare, something breathtakingโa spectacular show in the sky.
Lunar eclipse also known as "Blood Moon" happens during the full moon phase, when Earth is exactly between the Moon and the Sun. Over a few hours, Earth's shadow falls upon the surface at the moon, dimming it and occasionally turning it in a hue of red. Each lunar eclipse can be seen on half of Earth.
According to Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA, a total lunar eclipse will be completely visible over East Africa, Asia, Australiaโincluding the Philippinesโfor 1 hour, 22 minutes, and 54 seconds, starting on late evening of September 7 until the early morning of September 8.
The best part? This grand cosmic show comes with free tickets for everyone. No costs, no reservations, no special instruments neededโjust a simple invitation to step outside and look up. For a few precious moments, the night sky will transform into natureโs very own theater.
In the past, people feared this strange, unfamiliar sight. Some believed a giant serpent or demon was swallowing the Moon, while others thought it was a sign of bad luck.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA explained that the Moon turns red because shorter colors of light scatter easily, leaving behind the longer red hues, along with the effects of dust and clouds in Earthโs atmosphere.
While science explains the eclipse in clear detail, the experience of watching it is more than just scientific. It is a reminder that not everything worth noticing is found on our screens or in our daily routines. Sometimes, the most breathtaking sights are right above usโwaiting for us to look up.
Most nights, the Moon is just thereโshining with its calm silver glow. Yet sometimes, nature gives us a reason to pause, look up, and share an experience that brings people together under the same sky.
