DSCOVR EPIC Lunar Imagery V1

The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) mission's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) Level 1A lunar data products capture unique images of the Moon appearing alongside Earth when the Earth is not in the field of view from the spacecraft's position at Lagrange point L1. These specialized observations, stored in HDF5 format, contain calibrated radiance measurements across 10 spectral bands ranging from 317 nm (ultraviolet) to 780 nm (near-infrared). The lunar dataset provides a distinctive perspective of the Moon from approximately one million miles away, offering valuable information for lunar surface characterization and calibration opportunities. These images have scientific value as they show the fully illuminated far side of the Moon that is not visible from Earth.
