I agree. It looks like cheesy, fake animation. View from beyond the moon, ok, but that would make the moon larger in perspective unless that satellite is on its way to Mars. Wouldn't it?

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

By real size the moon is a little bigger than 1/4 of the Earth's diameter (3474 km vs. 12742 km) but appears a little more than 1/3 Earth's size from DSCOVR (0.18° vs 0.49°)
