    I haven't been able to find anything about what a earth-side solar eclipse looks like to an observer on the moon (by this I mean when the moon passes between the sun and the earth - so it's a solar eclipse as seen fron the earth, and I suppose what you would call an "earth eclipse" if you lived on the moon). From the moon you should see a dark spot (the moon's umbra shadow) moving across the face of the earth. The spot would be up to 160 miles wide, which is the width of the umbra shadow that the moon casts on the earth during a solar eclipse.

    As to a moon-side solar eclipse (what we call a lunar eclipse from the perspective of earth) - here's another site showing the earth blocking out the sun, as seen from a satellite's perspective near they moon:
