The post was shared on NASA Sun and Space Twitter profile a few days ago. “On Oct. 16, our Solar Dynamics Observatory saw a lunar transit in space when the Moon passed through the satellite’s view of the Sun. The transit lasted about 50 minutes, with the Moon covering about 44% of the Sun at peak,” they wrote while sharing the GIF. The post is complete with a link which further explained the occurrence in details.

The share was also reposted by NASA’s official Twitter account about Earth’s Moon. They simply wrote “photobomb” and retweeted the post.

“Moon said Sun you are not taking my light,” jokingly wrote a Twitter user. “I imagined the moon laughing as it did this. Hahahaha!” commented another. “Space humour,” shared a third.
