Description

A pair of extraordinary images taken by Surveyor's 3 television camera, the first photographs to document from the surface of the Moon a solar eclipse, where the Sun is obscured by our own planet.Surveyor 3, 24 April 1967Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, 25.3 x 20.6 cm (10 x 8in), with NASA HQ captions numbered 67-H-483 and 67-H-483 on the versoFootnotes:These photographs were taken by Surveyor 3 from the surface of the Moon. In the first photograph the camera photographs the Earth about midway through the eclipse of April 24. Brightest portion of the lighted ring around the Earth appears in the north polar regions - Alaska and the Bering Strait. The solar disc passed slightly north of Earth's equator. This produced the extra brightness in the Northern Hemisphere. Picture was taken at 4:01 a.m. PST. (NASA caption)In the second photograph both sunrise and sunset on Earth are seen (...) as photographed from a vantage point on the moon. The picture was taken by Surveyor III's television camera at 3:24 a.m. PST during the April 24 eclipse. On the upper left side of the disc, the sun is setting over Asia and the Indian Ocean. Lower right edge shows sunrise over the southeast Pacific. At this stage of the eclipse, the Earth and sun are 42 minutes into the period to totality. Brightest portion of the lighted ring around the Earth is in the northwest quadrant of the Earth as viewed from the moon. This is the eastern portion of the Asian Continent. (NASA caption)
