Satellite captures Earth and Moon's 'space dance'
US space agency Nasa has released a movie showing Earth and the Moon moving through space together.
The images making up the sequence were acquired by the Jupiter-bound Juno satellite when it passed by our home planet in October.
Earth is observed spinning on its axis with the Moon passing behind and heading off to the right of the scene.
The music accompanying the Nasa footage is an original score by Vangelis.
