not sure what that is I did wonder but it could be something to do with exposure. I got this direct from NASA.

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. You only see a shadow of the Moon on the Earth when there is a lunar eclipse. Since there are only between 2 and 5 lunar eclipses a year the chance of it capturing these images at the same time as an eclipse is small.
BTW, DSCOVR has a stable orbit at the EARTH-SUN L1 Lagrange point. That means it is always located between the Earth and Sun but farther from the Earth than the Moon is.

Slightly off topic, but, I have just watched the first season of "For All Mankind", which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I will be working my way upto Season 2 episode 6, the latest episode, over the weekend.

I don't believe I'm giving too much away but the launch, flight and landing was one hell of a ride!
