American ships recording the “diamond ring” on the moon

While millions of people under the earth witnessed the red moon in the phenomenon of full lunar eclipse on March 13 – 14, the Blue Ghost amphibious ship of American Firefly Aerospace witnessed the earth “swallowed” the sun. The amphibious ship successfully responded to the vast Mare Crisium (crisis) in the northeast, the nearby moon, on March 2 and quickly started to do the mission.

“This is the first time in the history of an active commercial company on the Moon and observing the whole solar eclipse when the Earth obscures the sun, pouring the ball on the moon surface. This phenomenon occurs simultaneously with the moon that we witnessed the earth,” Firefly Aerospace said.

On Earth, the lunar eclipse lasted about 6 hours, from midnight on March 13 to 6 am on March 14 according to EDT time zone, the whole stage lasted about an hour. The lunar eclipse can be most visible in most American and some places in Europe, Africa and East Asia. The observer will see the moon turn red – an effect of rayleigh scattering, in which the shorter blue wavelengths of sunlight are dispersed by the molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere, leaving only longer red light wavelengths to the moon.

At the same time, the Blue Ghost ship on the moon witnessed the total solar eclipse. When the Earth obscures the sun’s plate, only the outer atmosphere of the Sun, or Nhat Hoa rim, can be seen by the Camera of Blue Ghost. The Time-Lapse video also shows that the ship and the surface of the moon turn red due to the sunlight that is filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere. When the whole phase ends, the sunlight is dazed from the edge of the earth, creating an impressive “diamond ring” effect.

This impressive scene is the result of the size and ratio of the exact trajectory of the earth, the moon and the sun. Although the reality can also occur on other planets, the living forms there may not see such sparkling “diamond ring” effect.

The images that Blue Ghost sent is extremely rare, but this is not the first time the whole solar eclipse has been observed from the moon. NASA’s Surveyor 3 spacecraft once recorded such a eclipse in 1967.

The next eclipse on Earth will occur on March 29, even if it is only a partial solar eclipse. During the eclipse period, up to 94% of the sun will be obscured by the Moon. Observers in Northeast America and Eastern Canada will have good vision.
