NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft has snapped rare views of the Moon transiting across Earth's disk. The images grant us a seldom-seen look at the dark side of our planet's nearest celestial companion. The DSCOVR spacecraft is positioned at lagrange point 1, one million miles distant from its homeworld with a mission to constantly monitor the fully-lit face of our planet, providing near real-time solar wind observations. Last month the spacecraft returned its first natural color view of Earth – a category of image also known as a blue marble.
