MANILA, Philippines - A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in the Philippines on Saturday evening.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration announced that the eclipse will begin at 4:51 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PST) and will end at 11 p.m. PST on April 4.
Other countries, such as the United States, will be able to see a total eclipse of the moon for about five minutes which makes it the shortest lunar eclipse of the century, according to a report from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The eclipse on Saturday is the third of a series of four lunar eclipses that astronomers call a "tetrad" which is a rare occurrence. The four lunar eclipses are separated by approximately six months.
The first two eclipses happened last April 15, 2014 and October 8, 2014. The last one is expected on September 28 this year.
The Philippines witnessed a total lunar eclipse last October 8, 2014 which was dubbed as a "blood moon."
