Okay, this picture is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, and it’s amazing.

The moon passed between ‪NASA‬’s Deep Space Climate Observatory and the Earth, allowing the satellite to capture this rare image of the moon’s far side in full sunlight. As the moon is tidally locked to the Earth and doesn’t rotate, we only ever see the one face from the Earth. Awesome shot!

It looks like someone put a flat round pebble on Earth.
