NASA Captures Stunning Moon Transit from a Million Miles Away

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite, located at the Lagrange point L1, has captured stunning images of the Moon passing in front of and behind Earth. These images, taken from about a million miles away, offer a unique perspective of our planet and its natural satellite. The satellite's EPIC instrument recently captured the Moon's shadow on Earth during the October 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse. DSCOVR, which has been operational since 2015, is expected to remain in service until 2026.
