The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.

How do astronauts see the earth from the moon?

Astronauts see the Earth from the Moon as a bright, colorful sphere in the distance. The Earth appears much larger than the Moon does from Earth and cannot be seen as a flat disc. The view offers a unique perspective of our planet hanging in the vastness of space.


Who has been on the moon during a lunar eclipse?

No astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse. The last lunar eclipse occurred on November 8, 2022, and the next one will occur on March 14, 2025. The last time humans were on the moon was in December 1972, and there have been no plans to send astronauts back to the moon since then. However, if astronauts were on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would see a very different sight than people on Earth. The moon would appear to turn a reddish color as it passed through Earth's shadow. This is because the only light that reaches the moon during a lunar eclipse is sunlight that has been refracted through Earth's atmosphere. The blue light is scattered away by the atmosphere, leaving only the red light to reach the moon. In addition to the reddish moon, astronauts on the moon would also see a ring of light around the Earth. This ring of light is caused by sunlight that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and then reflected off the moon's surface. The ring of light is often called the "Earthshine". So, while no astronauts have ever been on the moon during a lunar eclipse, they would certainly see a very different and awe-inspiring sight than people on Earth.


If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?

If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.

Why people cannot see the moon phase?

Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.

'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?

Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
