James O’Donoghue, a planetary scientist and former NASA employee, posted a video to his YouTube account showing what Earth looks like from the Moon and vice versa in real time.
The video created with images from the space agency shows precise phases and rotations, in addition, that allows us to see both Earth and the Moon from a totally cosmic perspective.

O’Donoghue explained what the moon’s “hover” movement means in the clip, the scientist said “it moves fast in orbit when it is close to Earth and slow when it is far away.”
Each frame of the clip shows 15 minutes in real time and the final result of the video shows how the Earth looks from the Moon to the month of April.
Made in isolation, depicting isolation. Here’s how Earth looks from the Moon & how Moon looks from Earth, April 2020: showing accurate phases and rotations.
