Filipinos looked towards the sky Tuesday night as they tried to catch a glimpse of the year’s last total lunar eclipse. Also known as a blood moon due to its reddish color, clouds initially hampered astronomy enthusiasts but eventually cleared enough for the eclipse to be sighted before its end at 7:41 p.m.

Members of the Philippine Astronomical Society flocked to Rizal Park in Manila with their massive telescopes and a laser pointer to accurately locate the moon.

Crowds also headed to the UP Diliman Observatory in Quezon City to take a look at the blood moon which is not set to be visible until 2025.

Here are some scenes.
