An EPIC picture of Earth, sunny side up, from one million miles out

Re: Eclipse.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, during an eclipse a camera there would see nothing but moon. If you stood on the sun (not recommended), the earth would be exactly covered by the moon. If you moved further to the far side of the sun, and could see through it, the moon would not cover the earth, but if you move towards Earth, the moon would appear to more than cover the earth's disk.

So... All you would see is the far side of the moon, well lit. Maybe with a little tiny shadow of yourself.
