Most Real Whole-Earth view from NASA's DSCOVR satellite, which orbits around Lagrange point L1, ~1 million miles away (1.5M km).<br>Hourly images from NASA's EPIC camera, with 3D interpolation between frames.<br>Data typically lags by a few days (see botom date label).

Exact Sun–Earth L1, on the line of the Sun (~1.5M km).<br>DSCOVR orbits around L1, so this recenters the subsolar point. NASA EPIC imagery — additional limbs are simulated.

Earth as seen from the Moon.<br>Phases are opposite: new Moon is full Earth, and vice versa.

Looking from ~36,000 km above the equator.<br>NASA DSCOVR/EPIC imagery — centroid times may be offset from the clock.<br>Night side, stars, and Sun are simulated.
