Lunar eclipse from Blue Ghost

Lunar eclipse from Blue Ghost
Lunar eclipse from Blue Ghost Earth eclipsing the Sun and forming a classic "diamond ring" pattern, as seen from Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander on the surface of the Moon. On Earth, we call this a lunar eclipse because the Moon darkens under Earth's shadow, but on the Moon, it might be more fitting to call it a solar eclipse (or maybe a terran eclipse?).
