This visualization flies the virtual camera from the far side of the Moon, beneath the lunar South Pole, and onward to Earth. The heavily cratered lunar far side includes the dark basalt of Mare Moscoviense (top left) and Tsiolkovskiy crater (far left) and the darkened expanse of the ancient South Pole-Aitken basin (bottom). The striking blue of the Earth's oceans is initially hidden from view by the looming Moon.
