Some week ago we talked about how a lunar eclipse would look as seen from
the Moon (i.e., with the Earth between Sun and Moon, it would be a solar
eclipse from there), and about the possibility of rendering it. Yesterday I
saw in Slashdot a piece of news
(<http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/26/198259>) saying that
this has been recorder for the first time by the Kaguya lunar orbiter. The
pictures don't look too impressive for me, I don't see the expected red
tint in the Earth's rim...
