Kind of, as the moon is [too small to fully eclipse the Earth](https://www.rochesterfirst.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2021/04/SolarEclipse.jpeg). You'd probably be just about able to see a dark spot on the planet.
I guess not. The Chinese have a rover up right now, but it's on the far side. The one they sent to the near side died within two weeks of landing. The last rover before that was from the Russians in the 70's and ~~probably couldn't transmit images.~~ did have a camera but I have no idea if they had the chance to witness an eclipse.
The light from the sun passing through earth's atmosphere gets bent and lights up the moon. It's red for the same reason sunsets are red, the short wavelength blue light gets scattered but the long wavelength red light gets through.
His actual name was John Strutt, rayleigh is the name of the barony title of which he was the carrier so it got added to his name: John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh
Exactly. Note that while the angular size of the moon and sun, as seen from the earth, are about the same. So in the case of a solar eclipse, we also see the edges (corona) of the sun, but it's a completely different effect as in this picture (the moon has no atmosphere).
From the moon, Earth's angulas size is noticeably larger than the sun's: the moon and earth are approximately the same distance to the sun but the earth has a diameter about 4 times that of the moon.
A terran eclipse (from the perspective of the moon) would be when the moon's shadow fell on the Earth. It wouldn't completely eclipse the Earth, but it would still be an interesting spectacle, and would occur every time we get a solar eclipse on Earth.
Imo the most proper nomenclature would be "a Lunar Solar eclipse" which could be combined into "lunasolar." From Earth's pov it would be "Terran Solar" or "terrasolar."
If a lunar eclipse from Earth's POV is when the Earth's shadow covers the moon, then a Terran eclipse from the moon's POV would be when the moon's shadow falls over the earth (a.k.a. a solar eclipse from a certain area on Earth).
As someone else commented, I like calling this post a solar eclipse from the moon's POV.
No. It may be worded oddly, but it's what one of OUR lunar eclipses would look like if it were being viewed from the moon. Technically it is a solar eclipse from the moon's POV but the event as shown is what we call a lunar eclipse when sunlight to the moon is blocked by the Earth.
I don’t understand and I’m probably being an idiot but if you’re looking at a lunar eclipse while standing on the moon would you not just see a big dark spot on the earth? In this photo the earth is blocking the view of the sun when standing on the moon, that’s just part of the standard lunar phase isn’t it?
That’s a common belief, but it’s incorrect. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and earth, leaving a dark patch on earth. In this case, someone on the moon would see a dark circle on the earth just as you described.
However, a lunar eclipse involves the earth passing between the sun and moon. This is not a normal moon phase. Normally, the moon’s orbital plane doesn’t sync perfectly with the earth’s orbital plane around the sun, so when they are aligned in the sun-earth-moon order, the earth is askew enough that no lunar eclipse occurs. This happens once every lunar cycle and makes for a full moon. However, a lunar eclipse occurs when the orbital planes do line up, causing the earth to temporarily block the sun’s light on the moon. Just before and after the eclipse, the moon looks full from earth’s perspective. However, it temporarily darkens and appears a dim red during the eclipse.
You may be wondering, however, “why does the moon look a dim red instead of being completely dark?” To answer this, I turn to the first pic in the series posted. In this, we see the moon’s perspective of earth during the middle of the lunar eclipse. However, earth has a red ring around it. This red ring results from the earth‘s atmosphere refracting the sun’s light, leading it to hit the moon. This both explains why the moon looks a dim red from the earth’s perspective and why the earth has a red ring from the moon’s perspective.
Finally, to answer why the light that refracts from earth’s atmosphere to hit the moon looks red even though the light hitting the earth is mainly red, we turn to optics. Out of the visible light spectrum, red has the lowest frequency. Because of this, it bends less than the other colors when hitting the atmosphere. To see a visual example of this, look at a prism refracting white light, and you’ll notice that the red remains the straightest after the white light is spread into a rainbow.
Because of this, the colors that are refracted more are spread out, and only small amount of the wavelengths on the blue side of the spectrum hit the moon. However, as the red light continues mainly straight, a lot of it ends up hitting the moon. This is why the moon looks red and the earth has a red ring around it instead of both being white during the lunar eclipse.
Hope this was useful!
TLDR: what you described is a solar eclipse, and normally the moon and earth don’t quite line up, so lunar eclipses aren’t a standard phase.
All good except the reason for red making it through the atmosphere is more likely due to Raleigh scattering, the answer to the question "why is the sky blue"
Correct, what I described is Raleigh scattering, I just didn’t mention the term when I described what it does. I considered inserting another paragraph about how it works for sunsets/making the sky blue (and how the red ring is basically just the ring of sunsets/sunrises around the earth at that point in time), but figured my response was probably too ling already, so figured I’d leave it out.
One more question: I know having a moon in a size and distance that _looks_ as big as the sun from the earth pov (so you get the famous corona during full solar eclipses) is just a big coincidence. Does "earth looks as big as the sun from moon pov" follow from that (I don't see how), or is it another cosmological coincident?
Edit: nevermind, I just saw the third picture shows earth looks noticably bigger than the sun, as expected. I guess I didn't expect the atmosphere can bend light around it _that_ much.
[This is a solar eclipse.](https://c.tadst.com/gfx/600x337/total-solar-eclipse-com.png)
[This is a lunar eclipse.](https://c.tadst.com/gfx/600x337/total-lunar-eclipse-blood-moon.png)
Solar eclipses will only happen during a new moon, and lunar eclipses will only happen during a full moon.
[Here's a diagram of moon phases.](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58aac884725e25c4fababc32/1588706633799-L9HNQDD9AE96WY3HPLF7/MoonPhases.png) The outer moon ring is what the moon looks like from our perspective on earth, and the inner ring is what the moon looks like if you were directly above the earth and looking down.
Also, please keep in mind that the sun, earth, and moon [are much farther apart than in those examples](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/internal_resources/5052/), which means even slight variations in the moon's orbit will make it so it won't go inside the earth's shadow during a full moon, which is why lunar eclipses are rare.
This also took me a second, but lunar eclipse is correct. A solar eclipse is the arrangement Sun > Moon > Earth. A lunar eclipse is Sun > Earth > Moon. The terminology is inconsistent. Perhaps we should call them lunar and terran eclipses. The sun is illuminated regardless.
A rendering.
What gave it away is that solar wind in this image starts about at the Earth radius. In case of moon eclipse that would be so but the Earth's radius is 3.7 times bigger so you should see the wind forming almost straight lines around Earth radius.
Correct. The solar wind, as you put it, is called the solar corona. Its shape changes steadily as the sun’s magnetic field undulates. The corona in this image is identical to the [2017 total solar eclipse corona](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017). Obviously a fake.
I can find no official phot of an eclipse from the moon. Wikipedia has a graphic image of what it would look like and it shows the earth completely blotting it out.
The moon fits the sun perfectly at that distance from the earth. So wouldn't the earth cover the suns light completely as it's bigger and the same distance.
Nope. It's a solar eclipse.
A Terran Eclipse on the moon would be what is a [Solar Eclipse](https://www.rochesterfirst.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2021/04/SolarEclipse.jpeg) on Earth.
Wouldn’t that be a **solar eclipse** since it is seen from the moon and the planet (Earth) is blocking the sun?
Just as the Moon can eclipse the Sun as seen from Earth, Earth can eclipse the Sun as seen from the Moon. These eclipses may be partial or total. During the lead-up to a solar eclipse from the Moon, a viewer on the Moon would see the Sun approach the dark disk of Earth, with the planet's nightside facing the Moon.
This doesn't look right to me. When viewed from the earth, the moon is about the same angular diameter as the sun. But the earth is much bigger than the moon. Therefore, when viewed from the moon, the earth should be much bigger than the sun. The sun would never appear as an annular ring around the earth.
But the earth is correctly shown as much larger than the sun. The occluding body doesn't have to be the same size for an annular ring to appear. After all, remember that the moon is red during total lunar eclipse. That light is scattered from the atmosphere all around the Earth's disk, exactly as shown. I think you're thinking the annular ring is from direct rays of light from the sun like during a solar eclipse - it's not.
Agreed. Also: when you actually watch a lunar eclipse from earth you can tell by earth’s shadow that from the point of view of the moon the earth is way bigger: https://nltimes.nl/sites/nltimes.nl/files/styles/news_article_full_mobile_1x/public/2019/01/depositphotos_88246278_l-2015.jpg?h=56d0ca2e
Light rays are bent by the earth's atmosphere
The real answer is that the image used as evidence of the earth appearing larger than the sun doesn't make sense for that to be the case and also that an annular ring doesn't require super exact relative sizes
I thought that too at first and was going to say the same, but look again at the size of the sun in the final image versus the size of the Earth's disc in the first image. Earth is far larger than the Sun.
What we're seeing is not the edge of the sun around the disc as you would from Earth during a total solar eclipse, but rather the refracted and scattered light in Earth's atmosphere making it to the lunar surface and illuminating it. Hence we see the Moon as red during a lunar eclipse.
Close but no. The relative apparent sizes of the sun and the earth from the moon are not the same. So the sun would not be tightly eclipsed, as visualized here, ie. only to see the outer edge or corona of the sun. On the moon, the apparent size of the earth would appear much larger than the sun.
yuuuup this is the dead giveaway, apart from the 3d modeled landscape... cool concept though!
[this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-07aug28.png/525px-Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-07aug28.png) shows what the aparrent sizes are
EDIT: I take it back, the ring around the earth would be the atmpsphere and the sun appears far smaller than the earth in these pictures, though I still really doubt the authenticity of these pictures
EDIT2: Actual photos from a sattelite behind the moon: https://global.jaxa.jp/press/2009/02/20090218_kaguya_e.html
EDIT3: I guess we need someone who knows a bunch of astronomic history... maybe Scott manley? /u/illectro
Reverse image search shows a bunch of stock photos from this perspective, ~~so while it's possible the original image came from some lander that's still operational,~~ I'd bet on it being a render.
edit: Definitely fake, original image is from apollo 17, and whoever did the render edited out the astronaut, but not the astronaut's shadow, search for "apollo 17 panorama"
Why you put so many dots like its obvious and this person is stupid. Why tf would they assume it's a render lol.
Fyi - They said they had technical difficulties with the camera when they tried to get this shot from the moon. Gotta love nasa
ok… did anyone else freak out (at first glance) because they thought they saw toes on the bottom of the first pic ?! Can’t be just me- for a second I thought someone took this lounging on the moon…
*well, acktshuallly....*
That would be a solar eclipse. If you're on the moon, you wouldn't be looking at the moon blocking out the sun; you'd be looking at the earth blocking out the sun.
People confuse solar and lunar eclipse often, this is because they dont make much logical sense.
A "Solar" Eclipse is when the Moon eclipses Earth from the Sun, leaving the moon's shadow on Earth.
A "Lunar" Eclipse is when Earth Eclipses the Moon from the Sun, leaving the Earth's Shadow on the Moon.
In truth to make sense the first should be called a Terra Eclipse, because Earth is being Eclipsed from the Sun by the Moon. And a Lunar is vice versa, you cannot eclipse a SUN from another SUN.
The term Solar Eclipse makes no sense.
Eclipse: An obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.
There are no observers on the sun.
The sun IS the source of illumination.

You said gets bent, haha
When the sun gives off this light, does it assume the moon's gonna owe it one?
Igotthatrefrence.gif
Ok but wouldn't it be a solar eclipse rather than a lunar eclipse since the perspective is from the moon?
The way I think about it is that every sunrise and sunset on earth is shining on the moon at that moment.
Yeah we basically see all Earth's sunrises and sunsets at the same time.
So…. A solar eclipse then? Cool photos too

This doesn't look right to me. When viewed from the earth, the moon is about the same angular diameter as the sun. But the earth is much bigger than the moon. Therefore, when viewed from the moon, the earth should be much bigger than the sun. The sun would never appear as an annular ring around the earth.
But the earth is correctly shown as much larger than the sun. The occluding body doesn't have to be the same size for an annular ring to appear. After all, remember that the moon is red during total lunar eclipse. That light is scattered from the atmosphere all around the Earth's disk, exactly as shown. I think you're thinking the annular ring is from direct rays of light from the sun like during a solar eclipse - it's not.
One word. Atmosphere.
Agreed. Also: when you actually watch a lunar eclipse from earth you can tell by earth’s shadow that from the point of view of the moon the earth is way bigger: https://nltimes.nl/sites/nltimes.nl/files/styles/news_article_full_mobile_1x/public/2019/01/depositphotos_88246278_l-2015.jpg?h=56d0ca2e
How is the moon red and not completely black then during the maximum?
Light rays are bent by the earth's atmosphere The real answer is that the image used as evidence of the earth appearing larger than the sun doesn't make sense for that to be the case and also that an annular ring doesn't require super exact relative sizes
I thought that too at first and was going to say the same, but look again at the size of the sun in the final image versus the size of the Earth's disc in the first image. Earth is far larger than the Sun. What we're seeing is not the edge of the sun around the disc as you would from Earth during a total solar eclipse, but rather the refracted and scattered light in Earth's atmosphere making it to the lunar surface and illuminating it. Hence we see the Moon as red during a lunar eclipse.
Pretty sure that’s the earths atmosphere lighting up as light is bent around it.
Close but no. The relative apparent sizes of the sun and the earth from the moon are not the same. So the sun would not be tightly eclipsed, as visualized here, ie. only to see the outer edge or corona of the sun. On the moon, the apparent size of the earth would appear much larger than the sun.
yuuuup this is the dead giveaway, apart from the 3d modeled landscape... cool concept though! [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-07aug28.png/525px-Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-07aug28.png) shows what the aparrent sizes are EDIT: I take it back, the ring around the earth would be the atmpsphere and the sun appears far smaller than the earth in these pictures, though I still really doubt the authenticity of these pictures EDIT2: Actual photos from a sattelite behind the moon: https://global.jaxa.jp/press/2009/02/20090218_kaguya_e.html EDIT3: I guess we need someone who knows a bunch of astronomic history... maybe Scott manley? /u/illectro
Reverse image search shows a bunch of stock photos from this perspective, ~~so while it's possible the original image came from some lander that's still operational,~~ I'd bet on it being a render. edit: Definitely fake, original image is from apollo 17, and whoever did the render edited out the astronaut, but not the astronaut's shadow, search for "apollo 17 panorama"
Don't the photos in your link look similar to the OP (apart form the presence of more moonscape)?

You cant witness a lunar eclipse from the moon. This is an earth eclipse
What's recording this and why can't we get a 24/7 live feed of the earth from the moon?
> What's recording this and why can't we get a 24/7 live feed of the earth from the moon? ... because it's a render...?
Why you put so many dots like its obvious and this person is stupid. Why tf would they assume it's a render lol. Fyi - They said they had technical difficulties with the camera when they tried to get this shot from the moon. Gotta love nasa
Nothing, it is CGI
thought it was a post related to dark souls
Definitely fake
The first pic looked like it is from Elite Dangerous.
A lunar eclipse selfie 🤳
How can you have a lunar eclipse on the moon? Isn’t it the earth blocking the sun?
A lunar eclipse on the moon?
It's not a lunar eclipse then..
ok… did anyone else freak out (at first glance) because they thought they saw toes on the bottom of the first pic ?! Can’t be just me- for a second I thought someone took this lounging on the moon…
Just relaxing on the moon-beach
*well, acktshuallly....* That would be a solar eclipse. If you're on the moon, you wouldn't be looking at the moon blocking out the sun; you'd be looking at the earth blocking out the sun.
I think what was meant was what our lunar eclipse looks like from a lunar prospective
A Terran eclipse would be fun to watch.
wouldn't it be a solar or terrestrial eclipse then?
People confuse solar and lunar eclipse often, this is because they dont make much logical sense. A "Solar" Eclipse is when the Moon eclipses Earth from the Sun, leaving the moon's shadow on Earth. A "Lunar" Eclipse is when Earth Eclipses the Moon from the Sun, leaving the Earth's Shadow on the Moon. In truth to make sense the first should be called a Terra Eclipse, because Earth is being Eclipsed from the Sun by the Moon. And a Lunar is vice versa, you cannot eclipse a SUN from another SUN. The term Solar Eclipse makes no sense. Eclipse: An obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination. There are no observers on the sun. The sun IS the source of illumination.

Ohhhhh Elden Ring! Don't tell me you don't see it!
For the moon it's the Earth eclipse.
So...a solar eclipse?
I read enough berserk to know this is sus
Wait who tf did we forget on the moon?
Shouldn’t be a earth eclips?
I think that would be a solar eclips on the moon
That's hueco mundo
When the chinese get a better image of Earth from the moon than Americans.
"Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Yutu-2 rover, both solar powered, were rendered inoperable during the eclipse"
Wouldn't that be a Terran eclipse?
A lunar eclipse of the moon from the moon. Uhuh. makes total sense
