Sun eclipsed by Earth, seen from Apollo 12

Unusual solar eclipse. Photograph of the Earth eclipsing the Sun, photographed by the crew of Apollo 12 as they flew toward the Moon. The familiar terrestrial solar eclipse is seen when the Moon blocks out the Sun as seen from Earth. Apollo 12 was launched on 14 November 1969, and carried Astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean on the second manned mission to the Moon. Astronaut Richard Gordon piloted the Command and Service Module (CSM) in lunar orbit during the mission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare celestial event - an unusual solar eclipse, but with a twist. Unlike the typical terrestrial solar eclipse we witness on Earth when the Moon obscures the Sun, this image shows our very own planet eclipsing our life-giving star as seen from Apollo 12. Taken by the crew of Apollo 12 during their historic journey towards the Moon, this photograph offers a unique perspective that few have had the privilege to witness firsthand. Launched on November 14th, 1969, Apollo 12 carried Astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean on only the second manned mission to our lunar neighbor. As they soared through space, Astronaut Richard Gordon piloted the Command and Service Module (CSM) in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean embarked on their lunar surface exploration. Amidst their incredible adventure, they managed to capture this awe-inspiring moment where Earth momentarily blocked out our mighty Sun. This extraordinary image not only showcases humanity's remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reminds us of our place within the vast cosmos. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and human ingenuity that allowed us to venture beyond Earth's boundaries and experience such breathtaking phenomena. With its profound implications for astronomy and cosmology alike, this stunning photograph is a testament to mankind's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our universe – one that continues to drive us forward into uncharted territories even today.
