NASA released a video yesterday from the DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) satellite showing the moon crossing in front of the Earth. This satellite, which was developed and launched due to the urging of Vice President Gore, is located so far from the surface of the Earth that the moon is closer to Earth than the satellite is. Occasionally the Earth, moon and DSCOVR line up to show this transit of the Earth’s surface.
