Do we have a photo which shows the earth ecclipsing the sun as seen from the moon ?

Question

We all know that solar ecclipse is caused by moon. The same way when seen from the moon one can see the earth ecclipsing the sun at a particular point of time. How that ecclipse will look like ?

Answer 1

Whenever observers on Earth see a lunar eclipse, observers on the Moon would see Earth eclipsing the sun. However, we might also call this an occultation, because the apparent size of the Earth from the Moon is much larger than the apparent size of the Moon from the Earth. So while the Moon very closely matches the apparent size of the Sun, causing the Moon to fit almost perfectly over the Sun and to allow us to see the Sun's blazing corona, the Earth would completely cover up every part of the Sun and then some. However, the outer corona would still be visible (see image from NASA in my resources).

There are three terms for very similar events. We use "eclipse" to describe an object passing in front of a light source that is a very similar size like the Moon eclipsing the Sun, and also to describe an object like the Earth blocking another object like the Moon from the light that it normally reflects back to the eclipsing object. (In reality, the second use is more accurate. A solar eclipse would be more accurate called an occultation; see below.) We use "transit" to describe an object passing in front of a much larger light source, like Venus or Mercury transiting the Sun. "Occultation" describes an object passing in front of a smaller light source, so that it completely covers it, like Venus or the Moon occulting a star, or the Moon occulting the Sun. All size terms refer to apparent size, not actual size; eclipsing objects are almost always much smaller than the light source, no matter what the apparent sizes are to observers.

Answer 2

i do have a photo taken by apollo showing the solar eclipse as seen from moon.give me ur email and i can send it to u.

Answer 3
