A million miles from Earth. Check out this video of the moon's transit across the face of the sun. Awesome would be the right word.
Update:
In my excitement to get back to looking at amazing images and vids, I neglected to say that I found this site via boingboing. Also, upon snooping around the rest of the Nasa Stereo site. They have 3-D animations and imagery of solar phenomena, mission craft and all manner of fabulous goodies. Now then, where can I find me a pair of those 3-D glasses with the red and blue lenses?

My parents have *the* most pathetic artifact of any popular recording of the Moon landing: a polaroid shot of the 14-inch black and white televison my parents were watching when Armstrong made his historic step. You can't see anyting but this small tv, the screen showing nothing but the Polaroid camera's flash, and a few appalling lower middle-class 60's-era tchotchkes that my parents had arranged on either side of the TV.
And still, my entire family, to this very day, proudly presents that photo as "Where Mum and Dad Were when Man Landed on the Moon."
Taste the history.
somewhere there's a contact sheet of shots of our tv. mind you my old man was what could be called a gear pig. he was shooting with a leica at the time. i wonder what the crime stats were that day, i imagine even the petty crooks were watching instead of than robbing.
might make a nice art project to collect photos of all of the thousands of tvs that were being photographed at the time.
space porn is cool.
