    Pretty neat.

    From down here the moon looks so bright and white, but that video sure shows off the fact that it's like 1/3 of the albedo of the Earth and pretty unimpressive by comparison...

          So, why does the color of clouds and ocean seem realistic, while lots of the land is pretty bright red?
