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!

Short exposure time.

Just like Apollo 12 in 1969: https://science.nasa.gov/resource/earth-eclipses-the-sun-apollo-12/

Earth Eclipses the Sun – Apollo 12

This photograph of the eclipse of the Sun was taken with a 16mm motion picture camera from the Apollo 12 spacecraft during its trans-Earth journey home from the Moon.
