Blue Ghost's Diamond Ring
apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2503/…
On March 14 the Full Moon slid through Earth's dark umbral shadow and denizens of planet Earth were treated to a total lunar eclipse. Of course, from the Moon's near side that same astronomical syzygy was seen as a solar eclipse. Operating in the Mare Crisium on the lunar surface, the Blue Ghost lander captured this video frame of Earth in silhouette around 3:30am CDT, just as the Sun was emerging from behind the terrestrial disk. From Blue Ghost's lunar perspective the beautiful diamond ring effect, familiar to earthbound solar eclipse watchers, is striking. Since Earth appears about four times the apparent size of the Sun from the lunar surface the inner solar corona, the atmosphere of the Sun most easily seen from Earth during a total solar eclipse, is hidden from view. Still, scattering in Earth's dense atmosphere creates the glowing band of sunlight embracing our fair planet.

Als Antwort auf Josh Universe • • •The image depicts a solar eclipse in progress. The sun is partially obscured by the moon, creating a bright ring of light known as the corona. The corona is visible as a thin, glowing ring around the dark silhouette of the moon. The background is completely black, indicating the eclipse is occurring at night. The sun's light is intense, creating a bright halo effect around the moon. The image captures the moment when the moon is almost completely covering the sun, leaving only a small portion of the sun's surface visible.
