NASA released a video that shows how a lunar eclipse would look if viewed from the surface of the moon.
This could be a form of promotion for the anticipated "supermoon" lunar eclipse which is set to happen on September 27, 2015 at around 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
In the video animation, a darkened Earth is seen passing in front of the sun over the moon's horizon. As our planet passes the sun, the moon is sent into the shadows while the sun's light hits the Earth's atmosphere, forming a red ring around it, Huffington Post reports.
This red ring is a combination of both the sunset and sunrise on Earth in one shot. What's seen is the light from the sun that passes just below and above Earth's horizons, as it does during a sunset and sunrise, Yahoo News reports.
The video exhibits the difference of the lunar eclipse from Earth's viewpoint, wherein the moon passes completely through Earth's shadow in two parts - the penumbra and umbra. When the moon resurfaces, it is seen in a blood red hue, Business Insider reports.
