The Moon taken by HDTV, Earth's diamond ring 2
Updated : 2009.02.27
Observation date : 2009.02.10
Taken by the HDTV on Feb. 10, 2009 (JST).
The moment came when a penumbral lunar eclipse occurred and sunlight was covered by the Earth. During that time, since the view of the Sun from the KAGUYA was mostly covered by the Earth, the KAGUYA observed that the Earth looked like a diamond ring. This is the first time that this phenomenon was shot from the Moon.
