Dark Side of the Moon

From a Million Miles Away, NASA Camera Shows Moon Crossing Face of Earth 

Our life is about perspective. There are sides of ourselves that we never see, but that someone outside of us have a perfect vantage point to perceive. This shadow self, or dark side of the Moon, holds us back if we don't take time to look at it within ourselves.  

A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. The series of test images shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. 

The images were captured by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite orbiting 1 million miles from Earth. From its position between the sun and Earth, DSCOVR conducts its primary mission of real-time solar wind monitoring for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
