Tech Crunch reports [techcrunch.com] that NASA has produced a video from images made by its Deep Space Climate Observatory. [wikipedia.org] The spacecraft is in a Lissajous orbit [wikipedia.org] around the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point [wikipedia.org], 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.
