That's great! I was thinking the other day that it would be cool to see an eclipse from the moon, and here it is! Thanks for the link Mike.

Cheers,
Stephen

Amazing, I hope it did not damage the camera.

Sensational!

Very similar to a solar eclipse viewed from Earth, which is about a dramatic as
natural phenomena on Earth get.

An extraordinary engineering accomplishment.
