At about 1 million miles from Earth, Nasa has placed a camera, EPIC to photograph our home planet for research.
EPIC, which is enconsed on NOAA's DSCOVR satellite, has been taking photos of Earth every two hours.
These images capture the ever-changing motion of clouds and weather systems, and the fixed features of Earth such as deserts, forests and the distinct blues of different seas, as Nasa puts it.
On July 20, 2015, NASA released the first image of the sunlit side of Earth, a mesmerising image of how a human eye would capture it in rue colour from that distance in space.
Now it has compressed all these images into a time-lapse video to show a year in the life of the Blue planet.
The bonus footage is the part in which the Moon casts its shadow on a portion of Earth during a solar eclipse.
And it looks fragile....
