Description:
Lunar beauty shot
Duration: 50.0 seconds
Abstract:
This is a beauty shot animation flying over the surface of the moon created in support of a series of live interviews about the 2004 lunar eclipse.

Scales are not accurate in this visualization. The Earth is about 3 times larger than it would actually appear. The source of the moon texture is unknown; it is thought to be a composite from several missions. The Earth texture was captured as the Galileo spacecraft swung by the Earth in 1990 for a gravity assist on its way to Jupiter.
