I thought I would see the moons shadow on the earth after it passed, but I guess it just wasnt the time.
That would have been cool.

you'd think that you'd see the stars...the earth isn't bright the sun is what shines down on the earth the earth has no light in itself ....& even if that were the case if you put a camera up to a street lamp you cant see the lamp itself you can only see the light so you wouldn't be able to see earth even if it did have light coming from it.& if the images were enhanced to see the earth better then you would see the stars better as well if this was even a real picture.

I did not say it was CGI exactly. Yeah, you are right that it was made of many pictures possibly from Google and as you say, "put together to make a makeshift movie."

There would be no reason for me to visit a NASA site because I find it hard to believe some of the things they come out with. Only facts that are known by scientists around the world and not just coming from NASA but I appreciate it.

So you only take in one point of view?
I visit Hoagland's site AND NASA, just to compare them and all, you know, open-mindedness.

I am an open minded person but my points of view are selective within reason because NASA are not all they seem to be.

Of course it's not real which we all know. It's computer generated, daw. Of course I know the purpose of the video which was to "see the planet and moon more clearly." You are right in saying I don't know much about photography. I know something of it. I was making a comment based on my observation.

The distance Earth - Moon is (average) 384 000 kilometers!
