For heaven's sake, this is an awe-inspiring video sequence! What a thrilling
experience to see our blue marble projected against the pitch-black backdrop
of the sky and watch the continents rotating counterclockwise into and out of
view. And then, ... I held my breath as I saw the Moon with its brownish tint
passing in front of the Earth while the continents were still moving from left
to right.
