Solar eclipse by Earth. Computer composite image of a total solar eclipse by the Earth as seen from the Moon. The lunar landscape is from an image taken from an Apollo mission to the Moon,while the Earth and starry sky are satellite images. Eclipses occur when one body passes into the shadow of another. Here,the Earth has passed directly between the Sun and the Moon,and its shadow has fallen on the Moon's surface. The Earth image is centred on South Africa and Madagascar. Inhabitants of these areas would see a total lunar eclipse at this time | |
