This is part of a time-lapse sequence taken by the Galileo spacecraft on 
December 16, 1992, eight days after its flyby of the Earth/Moon system 
en route to Jupiter. The full color sequence utilized the 0.968, 0.727 and 
violet filters; this reduced, black-and-white version was made with the 0.968 
micron filter so that both vegetated and unvegetated land masses appear bright
in contrast to the oceans. The 46 frames span 15 hours of motion by the Earth,
Moon and spacecraft as viewed from the perspective of Galileo, with South at 
the top. Visible are the Pacific basin, Australia, Southeast Asia, India, and 
finally Arabia and the horn of Africa. A remarkable feature of this sequence
is the specular reflection or sun glint from the sea surface. Depending on the 
roughness of the water the extent of specular reflection varies rapidly, 
expanding over rough seas and contracting to a point over still oceanic pools 
such as near the west coast of Australia.
