Tech Crunch reports that NASA has produced a video from images made by its Deep Space Climate Observatory. The spacecraft is in a Lissajous orbit around the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point, from which the sunlit side of the Earth can always be seen. The 167-second video (warning: has narration) was made from images collected over the course of a year.
