Lunar Eclipse from the Moon

As we had hoped, the Blue Ghost lander on the Moon captured images of the lunar eclipse last night FROM THE MOON.

From the Moon, the Earth covered the Sun during the eclipse.  Here you see the Sun just starting to emerge again from behind the Earth as the eclipse drew to a close.

The private company that landed Blue Ghost hopes to release other eclipse images soon, but we wanted to share this historic first release with you as soon as it came out.

Things may be crazy here on Earth, but it might be a bit reassuring for your students to know that the cycles of the solar system continue on in a predictable way.
