I was doing some research on the coming solar eclipses. And, judging from NASA information, and what I could find, the next solar eclipse for us in the United States is August 21 2017. (Ok, so its not THAT soon...)

MARK YOUR CALENDER AND DON'T FORGET!

Of course I won't. . It happens to be the same day/night the shuttle comes home and our military possibly shoots down a satellite. (incoming!)

Hey Kmarion, have there ever been pictures taken of astronauts on the moon during a lunar eclipse observing the Earth eclipse the Sun?? I'm trying to find out!

Search earth rise.. or something along those lines.

Ya, that yeilds nothing but images of this:

I'll keep looking, but I don't think a photo was EVER taken from the Moon during a Lunar eclipse (Thus, being on the moon, the Earth would be eclipsing the Sun)

That called a full moon..lol. You are looking for a picture with the earth infront of the sun from the moons vantage point?

Exactly! And, I'm pretty sure thats what I said right? Wher'd u get the full moon idea?

That is essentially what it is. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-full-moon.htm

The moon is so close to the earth that even though the sun is extremely massive in comparison, there would not be anything to see.

My rough illustration.

Note: Not to scale ..lol.



You can however find pictures of Venus passing in front of the sun.

Cool, hopefully I'll remember to be outside that day and not holed up somewhere.  But 2017... 9 years from now.  Wow, wonder where I'll be by then.  Hopefully with at least a bachelor's, if not a master's degree, a good job, and maybe even a good g/f, maybe wife?! OMG, I can't wait!
