Total lunar eclipse from Earth and from the Moon.
Well, the second shot is technically a solar eclipse created by Earth.
Last night, the full Moon passed through Earth's shadow.
Turning the lunar disk red,
skywatchers in the Americas had a beautiful view of the
90-minute event.
For a small number of astronomers, however,
the real action happened a quarter million
miles away on our moon,
where Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Lunar Lander
Watched and photographed the eclipse from the other direction.
Yes, the second picture you see here
is of Earth from the moon during the eclipse.
Eric Allen of Quebec, Canada created this composite of both views.
Quote, I've wanted to do this for so long, says Allen.
Now I can show my astrophysics students
a comparison of views from the Earth.
And from the moon at the same time, the total lunar eclipse.
Congratulations to Firefly Aerospace for making this possible.
Blue Ghost is a commercial lunar lander
which successfully touched down on the moon March 2,
2025, following a 45-day trip from Earth.
Perfectly positioned in the Sea of Crisis to observe
the Earth as it passed in front of the sun.
While people on Earth watched the lunar eclipse,
Blue Ghost observed a solar eclipse.
The two always go together, but rarely are both seen at the same time.
Now, they say that this is a picture of Blue Ghost on the moon,
but I'm not quite sure who took the picture.
It could be an artist's conception.
This supposedly is not the first time
a lunar lander has witnessed an eclipse.
NASA claims that on April 24th, 1967, a television camera
on NASA's Surveyor 3 took this picture of Earth blocking the sun.
The exact same event, again, that happened April 24th, 1967.
Clearly, Blue Ghost's photo is much better.
The best ever, in fact, folks.
What a unique event.
God bless you and yours.
I enjoyed hosting the event last night
and hope to see you all again tonight for another live show.
