Indeed. It's with respect to a viewer. Nothing is eclipsed in this image.

eclipse /ĭ-klĭps′/

The partial or complete obscuring, relative to a designated observer, of one celestial body by another.
The period of time during which such an obscuration occurs.

The earth (one celestial body) is partially obscuring the sun (another celestial body) relative to the Blue Ghost lander (the designated observer).

It's an eclipse.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
