Video of the Earth from 31 million miles away

This fantastic video is of our planet and moon taken from the point of view of Nasa's Deep Impact mission to find out more about comets.

It's a bit humbling if you ask me, and really shows how big the Moon actually is.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
