Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon.
This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!

@coreyspowell 🚀 A Moment of Unity for Humanity! 🌍🌕☀️
This stunning image captures something bigger than politics—Earth eclipsing the Sun, seen from the Moon. 🌌
A powerful reminder that we share one planet, one sky, one future. No borders, no sides—just humanity united in awe and discovery.

I hate and detest AI images, if your purpose is to AI up images, its a block.
@kevinrns @GBSMedia @coreyspowell That pic is *really* bad - The "Earth" is actually a picture of the Moon. Who knows what the cratered object in the foreground is supposed to be. (Edited to add, because people get confused when the threads branch out: The pic I'm referring to is not the original one in Corey's post, but the fictional AI painting in the reply.)
I'm with Kevin, let's not pollute the feed with stuff like this when we are admiring *real* pictures, taken from a real place, with a real camera. That's kind of the whole point, here.
@MichaelPorter @GBSMedia @coreyspowell
The whole point is not what it might look like if science fiction was real, but humans are actually taking picture of the Earth, from the Moon, as it actually transits the sun.
We have PHOTOGRAPHS of the backside of the sun, with concerningly large sunspots, rotating to face the earth.
Compared to the best Star Trek, it is deeply meaningful report, proof, poem, epic of human civlization, and not a story. Not a 'suppose' - not 'like this' but THIS.
@MichaelPorter @GBSMedia @coreyspowell
Well Its not a story, dogs didn't do, Vulcans didn't, tardigrades have no cameras. Humans placed a networked camera to snap image hundreds of thousands of kilometres away, through two gravity wells and metric tons of atmosphere. While blasted by deadly radiation.
We have lighthouses too.
