I see we have a full lunar eclipse coming on Feb 20/21 (depending where you live).
I know that even during a full eclipse the Moon is still visible with a coppery hue, due to the refraction of light around the Earth. Now that we have a bunch of probes in orbit of the Moon, is there any plan / is it possible to take an image of the Earth from the Moon during totality? (or has this already been done?) I would think that a picture of the Earth surrounded by a red ring would be amazing! |

Strange coincidence - Apollo 12 witnessed a solar eclipse while carrying back from the Moon the camera of Surveyor III, which had also photographed a solar eclipse.
Beautiful eclipse tonight! I hope lots of folks got to see it. ![]() -------------------- Jonathan Ward
