A satellite in space took a picture of a double eclipse when both Earth and the Moon moved between the satellite and the Sun at the same time. Some students claim that they could see a double eclipse from Earth if a lunar and a solar eclipse happened at the same time. They wonder if they could ever see that type of double eclipse from their town.

If a double eclipse were to occur with a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse happening simultaneously, it would be possible to observe a double eclipse from a specific town on Earth. This would be an extraordinary and rare event, as it would require precise alignment and timing of both the Earth, Moon, and Sun. However, it is important to note that such a simultaneous occurrence of a lunar and solar eclipse is highly improbable in reality.
