Scientific paper

During October 1986 the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), a weather satellite, acquired images of the moon's shadow during an eclipse of the sun, and, two weeks later, of the moon itself as it was entering eclipse. While the first event is relatively common, the second is very rare, and presents an unusual opportunity to examine some of the characteristics of the lunar surface, particularly in the infrared. Orbital circumstances which permit the viewing of the moon, in and out of eclipse, are discussed and prospects for future images of eclipses are outlined.
