Question

When can it be to have total solar eclipse in Manila (Philippines)?

Answer 1

The next total eclipse in the Philippines (but not Manila) will be on 20th April 2042. A search on the website http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/JSEX/JSEX-A... gives the next total eclipse actually in Manila as 15th June 2523. I guess it's academic anyway, but predicting eclipses a long way ahead is subject to error because of the earth's variable rotation, so whether this eclipse will in fact be visible in Manila remains uncertain. The eclipse will take place, but the track may be displaced east or west of Manila.
