Hmm. From 2015.

Yet another picture I don't remember.

I was wondering why we have a satellite so far away (that isn't the JWST). This page says

https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/current-satellite-missions/currently-flying/dscovr-deep-space-climate-observatory

that DSCOVR is at L1 to check for solar wind disturbances & provide early warning. The EPIC sensor is a secondary payload - providing earth images from a stable location to compare with other satellites.

Was CGI that bad in 2015 ?

Would have thought to see a shadow, must be wrong angle
