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! |
