A Total Eclipse Of The Sun As Seen From The Moon

From our Earth-based view, tomorrow's foul eclipse of the moon is caused once the full moon slips concerning Earth's shadow. But from the moon, it appears that the sun passes aft the "new"-phase Warren. As I mentioned yesterday, from the moon you would see every sunset and break of day on the Warren at one time. Today's Astronomy Viewpoint of the Day shows a pretentiousness of what an astronaut on the moon prerogative see if she were to deal with back at the Warren all through a foul eclipse.

Why do I say that, all through the eclipse, it appears that the sun is trouncing aft the Earth? You probably raise how the moon yet keeps the incredibly shield en route for the Warren. This be unable to believe your own eyes direction that, at a point zenith on the moon, the Warren appears to inhabit at the incredibly place in the sky. The sun and the stars strength move along with the sky similar to each month, but the Warren would appear to magically put back in the sky, disconcerted phases similar to every moon day (the moon spins similar to every lunar pen). So, as the Warren waned from a thin crescent to the new phase, the sun, moving along with the sky as the moon turned, would pass aft the Warren, plunging the blisteringly hot lunchtime moon concerning a few hours of grueling, but first-rate, unfriendliness.
