From the Moon, a lunar eclipse looks like a total solar eclipse, but it lasts a LOT longer. For NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, that means the team has to plan carefully for the 4 hours that the spacecraft — and its solar panels — will be in the dark...

The total lunar eclipse started at 23:28 on Sunday evening and conclude at 04:55 on Monday morning, Beijing time. The totality phase, known as the "red moon," will last from 01:31 to 02:53, with a duration of one hour and 22 minutes. "A lunar eclipse is rare. It occurs when the earth moves right in the middle of the moon and the sun, blocking the sunlight from shining on the moon. The total lunar eclipse this time will last for a relatively long time as it will enter the earth's shadow quite deeply. " said by an expert at Beijing Planetarium. This eclipse can be observed with the naked eye under good weather conditions.

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of a solar eclipse, seen from the window of an airplane.. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves directly between Earth and the Sun, aligning so precisely that it blocks the Sun’s light. Although the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon, it is also about 400 times farther away, making them appear nearly the same size in the sky. During totality, the Moon completely obscures the Sun, unveiling its outer atmosphere—the corona—and turning daylight into an eerie twilight. Because this exact alignment is rare for any given location, total solar eclipses are truly unforgettable events.

According to NASA, a lunar eclipse occurred today exactly 1,993 years ago, on a Friday, which many believe was the day of the crucifixion of Jesus. ( April 3, 33AD) This year, Easter falls on the same Sunday as in the year 33, if that was really the date of the resurrection. This is an interesting coincidence. Donald Trump was born on a blood moon, the war with Iran started a few days before a blood moon in Leo, and the operation is called “Roaring Lion.” I will tell you my date for the crucifixion and the resurrection later today, in my opinion, it is connected to a solar eclipse.

China on Thursday announced that it has successfully completed a comprehensive test for the landing and take off of its manned lunar lander "Lanyue" at a test site in Huailai County in the northern Chinese province of Hebei. The "Lanyue" lunar lander is a newly developed extraterrestrial manned descent and ascent vehicle for China's first manned lunar exploration mission, which is primarily designed for transporting astronauts between lunar orbit and the lunar surface. The lander can carry two astronauts on round trips and is equipped to transport a lunar rover and scientific payloads, supporting astronauts in conducting surface activities and extended stays on the moon.

I believe NASA stopped going to the moon because there are ETs, crafts and structures everywhere, and the military has been recovering ET technology for a while. ------- #NEIOH (2020) - "This is actually a very ancient craft that crashed here and was abandoned. It remains intact but was not worth the recovery of this race from outside the solar system. The occupants were picked up by friends. They are called MOKAS, as their planet is MOKA. They stand 8 feet tall with grey skin. Very friendly. Very low in technology." Lunar Orbiter 3 Mission, 1967 -

Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1
