Slightly different but how about a Solar Eclipse viewed form the Moon?http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070302.html

Not "slightly different" at all - that is exactly what Les was
describing. A lunar eclipse for us on Earth is a solar eclipse if
you're on the moon. Although I'm not sure how closely it would
resemble that mock-up picture...

Hardly at all. The earh would not be illuminated because
it's night, the sun being on the far side of the earth. The ring of
light round the earth, caused by the atmosphere, would be much
brighter and not nearly so concentrated near the bright point. Also
the moon being in eclipse would not be illuminated, least of all from
behind the observer, who be in the dark, rather like the artist, one
could say. I don't think I'd want to put my name to that car-crash of
an effort, let alone claim copyright.
