A lunar eclipse! So it would be that instead of the red, dusky moon we get. I believe a solar eclipse would look the same on earth if it was flat and the sun/moon were overhead. Different pattern though.

It would be more a square than a line, I believe, since the only way we'd see it is if it were facing the side of the planet we lived on. That is also assuming the shadow cast were smaller than the moon. If it were bigger, my guess is it'd look mostly the same, just with a flat line instead of a crescent during partiality.

That's assuming it's a square. It could be a triangle... Or round, I guess.
