DSCOVR is 1 million miles from Earth (closer to the sun). the moon is 1/4 million miles from Earth.

Ah, so the magnification is large from afar. I got the impression from the article that it was somewhere reasonably close “on the other side of the moon”, such that it didn’t jibe with Apollo earth shots at all.

Thanks for the heads up!
