What would an astronaut see during a lunar eclipse?

During the eclipse, an astronaut would see the dark nightside of Earth slide in front of the Sun until it was completely rimmed with light. This spectacular ring of light was seen by Japan’s Kaguya spacecraft when it was in orbit around the Moon during an eclipse on February 10, 2009.Click to see full answer. Correspondingly, what would you see from the moon during a lunar eclipse?It means that – if you were standing on the moon’s surface – you’d see the Earth, the sun and the stars all at once, in the same sky. During a lunar eclipse seen from the moon’s surface, the Earth would appear at the new phase, corresponding to new moon. You wouldn’t see any of Earth’s day side.Similarly, what would happen if you were on the moon during a solar eclipse? During a total eclipse, Earth would hide the Sun completely, which has the odd effect of turning the Moon blood red. As a matter of fact, it is possible to observe this Sunday’s solar eclipse from Earth in a roundabout way: During the eclipse, Earth’s shadow will fall across the Moon and we can see that happen. People also ask, what do you see from Earth during a lunar eclipse? During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. Astronauts on the Moon would then see the Earth completely eclipse the Sun. (They would see a bright red ring around the Earth as they watched all the sunrises and sunsets happening simultaneousely around the world!)What would a solar eclipse look like from the moon?Inside this path, a total solar eclipse looks like a black ball in the sky with wisps of light streaming out around it. On the moon, a solar eclipse makes Earth look like a giant eyeball staring at the moon. The full Earth is far more luminous as viewed from the moon than the moon is when it’s viewed from Earth.
