This video shows Earth and the Moon moving together through the silence of space. While they look incredibly close, the average distance between them is about 384,400 kilometers. The Moon has been orbiting Earth for over 4.5 billion years, stabilizing our planet’s rotation and controlling ocean tides. Every slow movement in this video is a reminder that Earth and the Moon are gravitationally bound—two worlds locked in a timeless cosmic dance that makes life on Earth possible.” 🌍🌕✨ #SpaceX #NAS
