The "Diamond Ring"...from the Moon!

Uno splendido montaggio che ci mostra una ipotetica veduta dalla Luna di un Eclisse Totale di Sole. Bellissima ricostruzione, davvero, ma...c'è un errore davvero grande in questa "Scena di fantasia": durante una eclissi totale di Sole (ed anche nel momento in cui si forma l'Anello di Diamante - come in questa immagine) la superficie della Luna si troverebbe immersa nella più totale oscurità e quindi risulterebbe ai nostri occhi solo appena distinguibile, in forma di vaghe e quasi indefinibili ombre scure, con le stelle ben visibili nel cielo.

Ma va bene lo stesso...

Caption NASA:"Parts of Saturday's (March 3) lunar eclipse will be widely visible. For example, skywatchers in Europe, Africa, and western Asia will be able to see the entire spectacle of the Moon gliding through Earth's shadow, but in eastern North America the Moon will rise already in its total eclipse phase. Of course if you traveled to the Moon's near side, you could see the same event as a solar eclipse, with the disk of our fair planet Earth completely blocking out the Sun. For a moon-based observer's view, graphic artist Hana Gartstein (Haifa, Israel) offers this composite illustration. In the cropped version of her picture, an Apollo 17 image of Earth is surrounded with a red-tinted haze as sunlight streams through the planet's dusty atmosphere. Earth's night side remains faintly visible, still illuminated by the dark, reddened Moon, but the disk of the Earth would appear almost four times the size of the Sun's disk, so the faint corona surrounding the Sun would be largely obscured. At the upper left, the Sun itself is just emerging from behind the Earth's limb".
