This image of our home planet shows how Earth looked from more than 950,000 miles, or 1.5 million kilometers, away during the total solar eclipse visible in Antarctica on Dec. 4, 2021. The EPIC instrument on the DSCOVR spacecraft captured the eclipse's umbra, the dark, inner shadow of planet Earth. Shaped like a cone extending into space, it has a circular cross section most easily seen during an eclipse.

這張我們地球家園的影象顯示了2021年12月4日在南極洲可見的日全食期間，地球在950,000 多英里（或150萬公里）之外的樣子。DSCOVR 航天器上的EPIC儀器捕捉到了日食的本影，即地球的黑暗，內部陰影。它的形狀像一個延伸到太空中的圓錐體，它的圓形橫截面在日食期間最容易看到。
