You may remember Deep Impact was launched in 2005 with the mission of blasting a 370kg bullet into a comet. Now it has taken a remarkable video from a vantage point of 50 million km away of a spinning earth, complete with visible continents and weather systems, with a transit of the moon in front. What struck me was the speed of the transit from this angle: faster than the Earth's rotation. Wow!

I just got a blank window, however I was able to right click and download the clip.

Amazing. I don't know if it is asking a lot or not, but is there a way to get a higher definition video?
