Yes. Genuinely EPIC.

I learnt about Lagrange Points at school, never imagined I could see what the earth looked like from one of them.

Is this not truly awe-inspiring?

On July 20, 2015, NASA released to the world the first image of the sunlit side of Earth captured by the space agency’s EPIC camera on NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite. The camera has now recorded a full year of life on Earth from its orbit at Lagrange point 1, approximately 1 million miles from Earth, where it is balanced between the gravity of our home planet and the sun.
