Earth swimming in a sea of stars amidst the Milky Way

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured this astonishing footage of Earth journeying against her cosmic backdrop over the course of ten days in April 2019. Earth is the first bright round spot that shows up and moves to the right of the frame before the Milky Way is seen. The Moon was too close to Earth to be resolved. The background star near Earth is Spica. Venus is the very bright spot at the end. Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury are also seen.
