## Caption

Last night, Earth witnessed a lunar eclipse. Swipe to see it from the Moon’s perspective!⁣
 ⁣
On March 13-14, 2025, the Earth passed directly between the Sun and the Moon. Earth cast its shadow, turning the Moon’s typically gray and cratered surface red, aka a “Blood Moon.”⁣
 ⁣
While @NASAGlenn was looking up, @fireflyaerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander was looking back. Blue Ghost saw Earth block the Sun. From that perspective, this celestial event was a solar eclipse. It created a striking “diamond ring” effect in the sky.⁣
 ⁣
These images are a clear reminder that often, what you see depends on your point of view.⁣
