NASA's Lucy Probe Shows The Vast Space Between Us And The Moon

There is a picture of the moon. On the far right side of the picture, we can see our planet, but the Moon is hard to see. Are you able to see it?

This is not a joke. There is a moon. The Lucy probe snapped this picture as it passed by Earth on October 13.

This is the view of our planet and its satellite.

The average distance from Earth to the moon is 238,855 miles. You can fit 30 Earths into that space. It took Apollo astronauts three days to get to the moon.

The Space Launch System will take 25 days to travel to the Moon and swing a wide U-turn back to Earth. It's a long way from here.

Do you see the moon in the picture? There's a chance it's on the left side.

A staff writer at The Atlantic had trouble spotting it.

I end up wiping dust particles from my screen when I see it. She asked where it was on the social networking site.

It is here.

You can't see it yet. The brightness needs to be turned up.

The moon is far away.

The Lucy probe flung itself toward the outer solar system with the force of our planet's gravity as it swung past Earth.

The images were taken from 380,000 miles away by the camera system.
