COSMIC MESSAGE
This time-lapse video shows what it looks like to leave Earth. The MESSENGER spacecraft recorded these images in 2005 as it swung past Earth on its way to Mercury. Earth can be seen rotating as it recedes into the distance. The sunlit half of Earth is so bright that background stars are not visible.
