Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Earth Eclipse as seen from the Moon?
« on: 05/10/2014 17:12:30 »
I’m wondering - Could Chang'e 3 Lander photograph Earth as we experience the lunar eclipse on October 8?
Of course, from the moon, it would be the Earth eclipsing the sun…
It seems there would be much to be learned, as well as documenting a phenomenon never before seen.
Perhaps it’s much too dangerous for the optics, but I would love to see that image.
Bonus question: From the moon, would the earth just hover in the same spot in the sky all the time, with the sun crossing the sky in a 28-day "day"?
