64. What happens if a lunar eclipse happens when you are on the Moon? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The Earth will disappear except for a bright red ring surrounding it where the Sun is shining through the Earth's atmosphere. It would be a beautiful sight. The lunarscape around you will take on a reddish hue from the longer visible wavelengths passing through the Earth's atmosphere, while the shorter blue wavelength gets filtered out which is why you will see the Earth's atmosphere as a red ring.
