A MagicMirror module to display real time pictures of the Earth as it rotates. The sunlit side!
On July 5th, 2016, the moon passed between DSCOVR and the Earth. EPIC snapped these images over a period of about 4 hours. In this set, the far side of the moon, which is never seen from Earth, passes by. The DSCOVR satellite is, at times, 1 million miles away, more than 4 times further away than the moon itself.
NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), aboard NOAA's DSCOVR satellite, provides daily, full disc imagery of the Earth and captures unique perspectives of certain astronomical events, such as lunar transits. (Seen above) EPIC uses a 2048x2048 pixel CCD detector coupled to a 30-cm aperture Cassegrain telescope. The DSCOVR satellite was launched by SpaceX on a Falcon 9 two-stage rocket on February 11, 2015 from Cape Canaveral.
