1
00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:06,040
This sequence shows how a solar eclipse might appear from the lunar surface.

2
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:08,760
Night is falling on the moon...

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,480
the distant mountains are still in sunlight.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,500
After sunset, the lunar surface is blue,

5
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,500
lit by earthshine.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,840
It's "new Moon" at Earth

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,580
but it's  "Full Earth" at the moon!

8
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,560
Since the Moon's shadow covers only a small part of Earth,

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,160
the lunar surface doesn't get a lot darker.
