Movie shows alien's-eye view of Earth and Moon

Movie shows alien's-eye view of Earth and Moon-Reuters: "A spacecraft sent on a mission to inspect comets has filmed the Earth and its moon from 31 million miles away, making an alien's-eye view of our world.

The two brief sequences show the Moon passing in front of the Earth as it orbits.

'Making a video of Earth from so far away helps the search for other life-bearing planets in the Universe by giving insights into how a distant, Earth-like alien world would appear to us,' said University of Maryland astronomer Michael A'Hearn, who leads the project using NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft."
