This video is taken from Mercury bound spacecraft Messenger as it flys by Earth on a gravity assist. The movie starts when Messenger was 65,598 kilometers above South America on Aug. 2 and ends when the probe was 435,885 kilometers away from Earth - farther than the Moon's orbit - on Aug. 3.[5MB]

This is an amazing little vid.
I quite enjoy the way that the reflection of the sun shines as if the Earth was made of plastic.
I hope to see with my own eyes
