"It's easy to think of the moon as our affable neighbor who keeps to himself. We like him well enough, but if he moved, our main concern wouldn't be that he had left -- it would be the fear of someone taking his place."

Who Owns The Moon?
Interesting. Since American astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first to set foot on the moon's surface, does that mean the United States own the moon? ...
Before the first man landed on the moon, several nations created the basis for international space law. So who does the moon belong to?

EPIC View of Moon Transiting the Earth
This animated vid showing real satellite images of the far side of the moon transiting the Earth is only 20 secs long and 2 days old and has already generated over 1M views on YouTube. Note how much darker the moon looks - a great demonstration of just how dark the surface of the moon is compared to the Earth as one viewer points out. Usually we see it as the brightest thing in the sky...
The moon, illuminated by the sun, crosses between the DSCOVR spacecraft Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) and telescope, and the Earth - one million miles away.

The Nikon coolpix P900 83x optical zoom lens is so powerful, you can see the Moon moving!
Everyone's going wild, well in the photography world anyways, over Nikon's COOLPIX P900, which comes armed with a ridiculously insane, super telephoto 83x zoom lens built in that's so powerful that you can zoom in on the moon and see it move! Ok, so maybe we can't see the moon actually moving (it's the Earth), but it's still impressive nonetheless considering you could barely see it to begin with...
At night...
Here's another example of it capturing a plane flying at 35,000 feet.
