At 1 million miles from Earth, the distant DSCOVR satellite, aka the Deep Space Climate Observatory, recently captured the moon's eerie shadow over Antarctica. The intriguing, relatively rare ...
During the four hours it took Cassini to image the entire 647,808 kilometres (402,529 mi)-wide scene, the spacecraft captured a total of 323 images, 141 of which were used in the mosaic. [6] NASA revealed that this imaging marked the first time four planets – Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Venus – had been captured at once in visible light by the ...
