What it means

A time-lapse shows simultaneous views of the Moon from the lunar surface and Earth from the Moon as the Moon orbits Earth. The lunar view cycles through darkness and daylight while Earth’s visible phase changes dramatically, creating a bleakly dramatic “watching Earth disappear” reaction when paired with Bring Me The Horizon’s dark, emotional song “Can You Feel My Heart.” EN: A time-lapse shows simultaneous views of the Moon from the lunar surface and Earth from the Moon as the Moon orbits Earth.
