Re: Looks fake!

Ah, here's some more accurate details about the green shadow and imaging process:

DSCOVR "snapped the photos that make up the new time-lapse video over a 5-hour span on July 16. Each image combines three single-color snapshots. That origin can be spotted in the photos, which show a faint green outline on the right side of the moon's disk due to the system's movement during the photographing process..."
