This animation shows the Moon passing directly in front of the Earth as seen from the EPOXI spacecraft. The "red" is actually infrared.

@phongbong: Ain't he, though? Anyway, it was Buzz in the video, not Armstrong.

@puncheex Buzz Aldrin is a savage. FTFY

@amievery1: ...and you know nothing about infrared photography, do you?

Earth spins 28 times faster (in angular velocity terms). this video apparently shows 8 or 10 hours of real time. There have been all sorts of missions that do that or equally difficult shoots; NASA specializes in doing them. They released in the last year a picture of Earth taken from Cassini, orbiting Saturn.

Is the Flat Earth Society still active? I figured it mostly died out when their leader, whatshisface, passed on. I had a chance to talk to him on the phone when I lived in Nome, Alaska. I wanted to know why when I lived in Nome there was such a long delay on my phone when talking long distance. They always blamed it on satellite delay because the satellite was in geosynchronious orbit, but duh theres no such thing as satellites right?. He couldn't tell me why there was a delay.
