^ THIS!

The moment I really _understood_ it... I got a real physical sense of this part of the solar system.

And when you add in the fact that it takes ~5 days (with current human-rated propulsion) to travel from earth to the moon, combined with footage from missions like Artemis II, you can make it even more intuitive.

When I'm out stargazing I also enjoy mentally switching my frame of reference, and instead of thinking about "sunset", imagining being at a certain latitude on the surface of a rocky ball rotating underneath the day/night terminator.
