Oddbean new post about login | logout @4b16f0b6 Hmm. From 2015. https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/from-a-million-miles-away-nasa-camera-shows-moon-crossing-face-of-earth/ Yet another picture I don't remember. I was wondering why we have a satellite so far away (that isn't the JWST). This page says https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/current-satellite-missions/currently-flying/dscovr-deep-space-climate-observatory that DSCOVR is at L1 to check for solar wind disturbances & provide early warning. The EPIC sensor is a secondary payload - providing earth images from a stable location to compare with other satellites.
πππ Was CGI that bad in 2015 ? πππ
