Stupid GIF makes it look unreal. I'd have preferred a higher resolution still image with the moon in the frame.

Set your monitor to gray scale... the Moon almost disappears. The visual impact is due mainly to the color difference, blue versus dull gray-brown. Seeing the lunar far side superimposed on the Earth is cool though.
