So, the Moon orbiting plane is close to the ecliptic, and the satellite is in the ecliptic (L1 is in the ecliptic). I do not get this: > About twice a year the camera will capture the moon and Earth together as the orbit of DSCOVR crosses the orbital plane of the moon. (nitpick: the DSCOVR has no "orbit" around the Earth, since it is in the L1 point) Since the Moon's orbit and the ecliptic are so close, I would expect this crossing to happen more often (on every turn of the Moon around the Earth)
