This is Wednesday's solar eclipse. Photographed from lunar orbit.

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute posted this image on Twitter yesterday. At the time the image was taken, at 17:42:50 UTC, the spacecraft was moving from the lunar far side to the near side. Credit: KARI/KPLO

Thanks, Paul. I wish that (a) I understood what I'm seeing on the Moon and (b) KARI would post on Bluesky.

a) The crap lunar surface, looking all rugged and airless and crap, with some dramatic shadows (seeing as the Sun is behind the camera/spacecraft). b) Same.
