Suppose you are in a space at the L2 point of the Sun-Earth system. You look in the direction of Earth: what do you see?

You may assume that the width of the Earth is 3.5 times that of the Moon (see problem 15), that the Moon is 60 Earth radii from the center of Earth and that, as seen from Earth, it is equal in size to the Sun.
