What would you see? The moon neatly blocks out the sun for a total eclipse, but the Moon is much smaller than the Earth. If you were on the moon for an Earth-eclipse, then the sun would just disappear behind the Earth for some time.

Wow, hope your Moon is looking as good as mine (oooh err), kind of like Mars, not that I've been there like.

Yep, nice red colour during totality. That's the best I've seen.

Yes, near totality it should appear red in colour. Mostly half gone here.
