Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Earth and Moon." Have you ever seen a picture of the Earth and Moon taken together? There aren't many of them. In fact the largest collection of them may be from the Galileo spacecraft. Launched in 1989, Galileo passed by Earth some thirty years ago on its way to Jupiter and captured 52 images used to create this 12-second video clip.
Note: the guy who produced this video is an amateur astrophotographer that works in planetary image processing and creating color composites from public datasets. If you find your way to his Flickr page, you'll see some pretty amazing stuff.

Thank you my space-exploration and NASA advocate friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Video Clip of the Day (APOD) for Sunday, September 5, 2021 entitled "Earth and Moon."
Image: Earth and Moon
APOD Background
"Explanation: The Earth and Moon are rarely photographed together. One of most spectacular times this occurred was about 30 years ago when the Jupiter-bound Galileo spacecraft zoomed past our home planetary system. Then, robotic Galileo watched from about 15-times the Earth-Moon separation as our only natural satellite glided past our home world. The featured video combines 52 historic color-enhanced images. Although our Moon may appear small next to the Earth, no other planet in our Solar System has a satellite so comparable in size . The Sun, far off to the right, illuminated about half of each sphere, and shows the spinning Earth's white clouds, blue oceans, and tan continents.
