While millions of earth Saw the moon red The total lunar eclipse, a spacecraft standing on the moon during the “blood moon” last night, was watching the Earth swallowing the Sun.
In a series of stunning images shared by Texas-based Jugnu Aerospace-a private company whose blue ghost lander successfully Touched near the moon On March 2 – The distant sun is gradually assumed by the dark arb of the earth until only a bright ring remains. Jugnu also shared a time-laps video of the entire eclipse (below embedded), which appears to show the Sunright blocked by the Earth, until the overall darkness descends.
It marks the moment of terrible effect TotalityThe total stage of a lunar eclipse during which the sun’s disc is completely blocked and the moon is included in the dark part of the Earth’s shadow.
The blue ghost turns red! Our lander reduced more imagery from the moon imprisoned around CDT at 2:30 pm last night during the thorough solar eclipse.

The Lunar Eclips of 13–14 March lasted for about six hours in total, about 6 am on Friday till around midnight, the totality lasted for about one hour, from 2:30 am to 3:30 pm. On Earth, it was when the moon turned red – an effect of Religha scatteringIn which small, sunlight wavelengths are scattered by molecules in the atmosphere of the earth, leaving the red wavelength only for a long time of light to reach the moon.

At the same time, the Moon experienced a totality that reminded of the shocking monument Total solar eclipse that crossed North America last April. As the Earth had blocked the Sun’s disc, only the outer atmosphere of our star, or corona, was visible to the blue ghost cameras on the moon. (Time-laps video also shows the spacecraft in red as more and more sunlight is filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere).
As the overall end ended, the sunlight reached the peak around the edges of the earth, a luxurious made. “Diamond Ring” effect In the sky.
This sparkling scene of totality is the result of the exact size and orbital distance ratio of the Earth, Moon and Sun. Although there are eclipses Possible on other planetsWe do like LifeForms on those worlds like a diamond ring of starlight will not be seen.
While such shots are incredibly rare, this is not the first time that the total eclipse has been observed from the moon. NASA surveyor 3 Lunar spacecraft recorded one such eclipse Back in 1967,
The total lunar eclipse of this month is not just an explosion from the past; It is also a precursor. Eclipse always falls in pairsThe solar eclipse is essentially two weeks after the lunar eclipse.
(This is thanks to the lunar cycle; lunar eclipse can only occur during one Purna ChandraWhen the Earth becomes between the Moon and the Sun; The solar eclipse occurs only during a new moon, when the moon swings between the earth and the sun.)
The next solar eclipse on Earth will be on March 29, although it will be a partial – so the audience should be certified Eclipse glasses All time. During the eclipse, the sun’s disc will be blocked by the moon up to 94%, will be primed to get good views with the northeast United States and Eastern Canada.
