Teddy Bear,
I wonder what it must have looked like if standing on the Moon.
Just imagine it, as the Earth passed in front of the Sun, the light would have snapped out out, and the Earth would have seemed like a circle of brightness or ring of fire. The refraction of the Sun through the Earth’s atmosphere would have created some sort of ring of color – I’m uncertain what the color(s) would have been, bout I’m willing to bet that it was impressive!
I wonder if any of the great cities, or perhaps the Eastern Seaboard of the US, or maybe the lights of Europe would have been visible.
It is at times like these that I regret being too old to leave the Earth!
