Brigalow Bloke say: Global oblivion, the end of the Earth and the Moon, but luckily it can't happen, since the Sun does not fit between the Earth and Moon and their orbits prevent it in any case.

Raymond say: It would be called a superior conjunction. However, when that happens, the Earth would also be in superior conjunction, as seen from your observatory on Mars, so that it would be called "superior conjunction of Earth".
Being the descendant of a colonist from Earth, it is possible that you would label distinctly the conjunction of Moon, from the conjunction of Earth, even though they would be quite close together.
If, at the moment of superior conjuction (as seen from Mars) the Moon happens to be at New Moon or Full Moon (as seen from Earth), then both conjunctions would coincide.

Passive Agresssor say: It doesn't. When the Earth is between the sun and moon and earth casts shadow on moon it is a lunar eclipse. When the moon passes in front of the sun it is a solar eclipse.
