When characters look out on the horizon, to marvel at the universe in all its glory; from towering mountaintops above thick, ancient forests, with great beasts flying overhead, to sprawling metropoli, teeming with thousands or millions of thriving souls, a testament to the accomplishments of man. Then, in that moment, both the cast and the audience are reminded that, if nothing else, the world itself is just... awesome.
Examples usually, though not always, involve being in the air, as this allows for the whole world to be shown. Or, you know, large parts of it. The characters will all be in awe, and the music will be either super-upbeat, serene and full of reverb, or not there at all. Expect the art work to suddenly take itself more seriously than usual.
By looking at the characters’ expressions, you can tell that even they are impressed, so think how you should feel sitting there, watching/reading/playing this on your boring old earth. Expect comments like, "Amazing!" "Awesome!" "I can't believe it!" while sometimes getting teary-eyed from that wonderful sight. Also expect some lesser-awesome things to happen in the distance, like a sea serpent jumping out of the ocean, or a pack of dragon-wolves flying in the distance, or maybe a volcano erupting. In fact, all of the above will usually happen at the exact same time to make the world even more awesome. That, however, is mostly an introductory bonus, as the rest of the world will become "dull and boring" as the cast is Walking the Earth. All of these slightly-awesome happenings will happen only on and off at most and at specific moments.
This can happen at any point of the series, though usually at the beginning as a hook for the audience. If used at the beginning, it's usually done to show that the cast is moving away from their normal life. If used somewhere in the middle of the series, it's usually done to show how far they have come, in which case the characters will probably get a I Can See My House from Here moment. If used at the end, it might either be used for the previous example, or to show how the entire world has changed. Almost always, this will lead to the characters suddenly realizing that they're about to fall, thus ending the beautiful moment.
For fantasy films with a romantic subplot, this is the moment when a boy takes a girl who's indifferent to him into a mindblowing experience flying with the world's wonders in full view and realizing to her wonder what the boy can do. By the time they come in for a landing, the girl usually needs no more convincing that she is not letting this terrific guy go.
Sometimes, the camera is simply showing off the world ahead of you. This trope only works if the character would otherwise be amazed at the brave new world he has stepped into. If the character(s) is(are) otherwise not amazed, as the world would seem pretty boring to them, this trope doesn't work, though this usually happens at the very, very beginning since the setting has yet to be described.
Sometimes these moments happen during gameplay where you do something extra-awesome for the very first time. See also That's No Moon though that usually consists of fear, and The Ruins I Caused for when characters are looking down at something that's been destroyed. They Should Have Sent A Poet is an alternate name for this trope, and describes a common reaction to such an experience.
The Trope Namer is the Discovery Channel, which occasionally uses the titular phrase as a tagline.
See also Scenery Porn and Visual Effects of Awesome (may indeed be considered the cinematographer/animator/special effects crew's Moment of Awesome). Can make someone realize they have something Worth Living For.

An early cutscene in Shin Megami Tensei IV has the main quartet going to the roof of Mikado Castle for breakfast, and are treated to a breathtaking view of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. They later get an awesome view of Tokyo from the Tokyo Skytree, realizing that what the higher-ups in Mikado call "the Land of the Unclean Ones" isn't necessarily all doom and gloom. In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Nanashi and his friends get to experience the same view.

Upon entering an area for the first time. For The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, they took things farther. They added specific areas that seem to serve no purpose other than to give the player a vantage point for looking at things. The top of the tower in the desert, at about the middle of the game, offers a great place to marvel at the sheer size and scope of the world itself.

From the Earth to the Moon, like many series or films about Real Life historical spaceflights, often features this trope, especially in many genuinely moving moments in various episodes. The idealistic tone of the series' intro pulls no punches in highlighting that the manned expeditions to the Moon were humanity's undisputed and hard-earned Moment of Awesome.

Starbound:
Being about stellar exploration, the game is bound to invoke these—especially when hovering in orbit above a planet, especially one that's part of a huge planetary system with many moons in the background. There's also the song "Vast, Immortal Suns" on the soundtrack, which is more or less the musical personification of this trope.
The very first time you beam down to a planet. You've just escaped destruction, you've been cooped up on a small, beaten ship, and... suddenly you stand on this beautiful, unspoiled green planet that's just waiting for you to explore and build to your heart's content.

Dark Souls III being developed for the succeeding generation of systems, can show off the hidden beauty of Lordran even more. Of note is the first time the player gets to see Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. Which after slugging through catacombs that is essentially a That One Level, the player exits on a cliff overlooking a misty frozen medieval city illuminated by the pale moonlight.

Trailers for Patema Inverted reveal that this will be a large theme of the film. It's natural, given that one of the main characters, a girl named Patema who escapes the underground kingdom where she lives and finds the human world, this is a given. However, Patema's center of Gravity pulls her away from the earth, meaning that she can fly when she works together with a human boy from the surface, who is pulled towards the earth, allowing many chances for Scenery Porn and Ghibli Hills.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:
The end of the first episode provides the page image: The three main characters launch themselves through the earth's surface and high into the air, getting an overview of everything. Made more spectacular due to the drab colors being used up until that point.
Simon & Nia share one after Simon saves her from Guame.
There's a Call-Back to that scene when one of Ms. Yomako's students climbs a really high tree.
And again a few episodes later, when Simon and the extras blast off into space. By this point, Simon is unimpressed with the view.

In The Last Hero, Carrot, Rincewind and Leonard of Quirm go on the Disc's first return spaceflight. They're awestruck by the sight of the four elephants, and even more so when they briefly land on the moon and a get a good look at the world. There's a bit of humour when Carrot reflects that they can't see the boundaries between nations. Leonard and Rincewind, taking this literally, start wondering about spelling out the names of countries with forests.

Used a few times in Phantasy Star IV. When you first get space travel ability, for instance, and see the world racing beneath the ship as you take off, and the planet you're heading to filling your field of vision in space... or during the scenes where Le Roof manifests as a gigantic illusion of the entire galaxy all around our heroes, accompanied by the music Age of Fables. And in almost note-perfect fashion, when Rika leaves the underground laboratory where she's spent her entire life, and sees blue sky and sunshine for the very first time.

In Harry Potter, any time Harry goes to a new place in the wizarding world, especially in the first book. Especially the Great Hall, which he comments seems like it has no ceiling but just opens up into the heavens.

Discussed with the Doctor a few times:
In "Planet of the Ood", he says he still gets excited at every new location he visits because the universe is amazing. Why else would he still be travelling?
In a DVD-only scene with Amy Pond, he asks her if she knows "what he keeps in here", walking to the TARDIS doors. He opens them to say, "Absolutely everything", whereupon he shows her that they're in deep space.
He does this again in "A Christmas Carol", when, transporting a shark to the planet's clouds, he responds to Abigail and young Kazran calling the TARDIS amazing.
Eleven seems to get a lot of this, as his character is the type that looks young but feels old. He talks about this directly to Amy at one point, saying that the universe has just become another backyard for him, and he has his companions along so he can see what they see and feel the wonder he's since lost.
It's mentioned in "World Enough and Time" that the Doctor and the Master made a promise to see every star in the universe. The Doctor hopes this promise will help redeem Missy.

Happens multiple times throughout Sense8 whenever one of the sensates visits one of the others in a country they have never been to before. Most notably Capheus when he sees what it looks like above the clouds while Riley flies back home. The opening credits are a stunning montage of clips shot in the locations the show is set, showing off the people, cultures and environments from across the globe.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends does this for just about anyone who enters the house for the very first time; almost every imaginary friend and then some will come walking down the hallways to the amazement of the visitors. To be fair, the imaginary friends do want to be adopted, and not being awesome doesn't do much for them.

Every time Altair or Ezio finish climbing to a lookout point in Assassin's Creed and II. This is also a theme in the series, which is filled with Scenery Porn. Specific examples include Ezio coming to Istanbul in Assassin's Creed: Revelations and luxuriating in the beauty of the city.
The crowning moment is the opening of Assassin's Creed III where Decoy Protagonist Haytham Kenway climbs up the mast of a ship and gets his first look at 18th Century pre-Revolution Boston Harbor and essentially his first glimpse of America, the fact that the game's titles first come here doesn't hurt either.
In Assassin's Creed: Embers Ezio Auditore leaves behind a letter to his wife which is read on the soundtrack after his death:
With the series' graphics continually evolving with every new entry, Scenery Porn became ever more prevalent and impressive. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey went so far as to give its protagonist a special line dedicated to its gorgeous game world that triggers when you climb to the top of Greece's tallest mountain.

Contact. As well as the awe-inspiring sequence that provided the former trope name - a staggering symphony of visual effects and music built around Jodie Foster's note-perfect performance - the movie opens with a amazing pullback that, starting from Earth orbit, proceeds to give you the faintest hint of just how INCREDIBLY HUGE the universe is, complete with a kind of audio time-travel, backwards through the history of broadcasting. Sadly, for hardcore geeks, the audio and video are not accurately synchronised, although for anyone else this surely counts as an Acceptable Break from Reality.

Grandia: It and it's sequels had some pretty awesome moments, most notably in the first one. After Justin and his companions scale the massive wall known as the End of the World that many people in the west believe there is nothing beyond, the party and the player are treated to the gorgeous view of the Valley of the Flying Dragon and the rest of the Lost World beyond it. They are then nabbed by a flying robot and dropped off of said massive wall.

Discworld:
Most of the early books parody this, with the description of the approach of Great A'Tuin at the very beginning of the book. The Narrator snarkily remarks that The Disc looks like it was designed to be admired from a distance, because it's a pretty ridiculous place to live. It's also played completely straight in descriptions of the spectacular Rimfall.
In The Last Hero, Carrot, Rincewind and Leonard of Quirm go on the Disc's first return spaceflight. They're awestruck by the sight of the four elephants, and even more so when they briefly land on the moon and a get a good look at the world. There's a bit of humour when Carrot reflects that they can't see the boundaries between nations. Leonard and Rincewind, taking this literally, start wondering about spelling out the names of countries with forests.

In Final Fantasy III, leaving the Floating Continent for the first time. In the original NES version, there are very few hints that the (massive) world map is only a floating part of a bigger earth. Leaving it, and realizing the entire earth below is drowned underneath a vast ocean, is one of the most beautiful moments without dialogue in Final Fantasy history.

Used as an in-game trope in Final Fantasy VII, when the characters are awed during Bugenhagen's lecture at the Observatory. The player will also have this reaction when first entering the World Map field, since the story has been confined to one big city for so long, then the whole world is revealed, showing that this is just the beginning.
Barret also reflects on this when looking at Gaia's Cliffs.

Under Heaven: Occasionally, Shen Tai would consider what was happening around him in the context of poems already written (occasionally by people he personally knew). He had been studying to be in the civil service before being required to 'mourn' his father's death for two years, and poetry would have been a part of the final exams he missed. (And considering that he occasionally tried to write a poem about some of his own experiences, he probably felt They Should Have Sent A Poet- the alternative link for this trope.)

A vague and villainous example in Injection. The titular AI was created by five specialists to improve what they perceive to be a world that is becoming less interesting by the minute. The Injection doesn't outright confirm this, but nonetheless proposes that the reason it is running amok is because it is angry that its creators thought a world that was already very interesting needed improving and is punishing them for it... by doing exactly what they built it for.

The Owl House: The Boiling Isles is a Crapsack World made out of the rotting corpse of a giant. Despite this, it's shown at multiple points that there is still beauty to be found in such a world. Most poignantly, episode 2 ends with Eda flying Luz all the way to the edge of the toes to cheer her up after she was tricked by the episode's villain, giving both her and the viewers a breathtaking view of the entire isles at sunset.

Fallout 4: Find a nice high spot on a clear night around the center of the map (the towers of the Corvega factory work well). The lights from the various settlements, including the glow of Diamond City, the starlit sky, and the waves on the ocean ocean are gorgeous. And to the south you can see a small patch of light glowing in the sky like a miniature aurora that's also beautiful. Of course that last one is the radioactive glow of the Glowing Sea where everything will try and kill you, including just standing there, but it does look pretty from a distance.

In the X-Wing Series, Imperial City aka Coruscant under Imperial rule is seen from orbit a few times by people going to the surface. There's a little awe each time, especially since two of them had never seen it before. Loor thought he was going to be executed and couldn't keep himself from marveling at the immense scale of everything, and how many people must live there. Gavin was distracted by what looked like writing in some alien script.
In Rogue Squadron, Wedge and the Rogues lift of Novquizor on a mission, and Wedge takes a long look at the planet, promising himself that if he survives he'll walk around down there and soak up some of that peace.

All of the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe seem to have a lot of respect and love for the planet Earth - if not necessarily for the humans that live there. Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl just sit and stare at the sunset at one point, Ruby and Sapphire look delighted when they first arrive on Earth, Peridot is awed by the rain and Lapis starts to soften after she flies around Earth with Steven. Steven himself gets a poignant moment when he sees the Earth from a gem ship in orbit.

Mass Effect is an entire series full of this, many of the visitable planets and space stations have not only beautiful views within them, but also spectacular intro and outro cutscenes to each as we see the Normandy flying to and away from the location.
Approaching Citadel for the first time in the first game.
In the Overlord DLC of Mass Effect 2, driving out of Vulcan Station in the Hammerhead reveals a cliff beyond which is a broad valley, absolutely stunning mountains in the distance with gorgeous waterfalls, and large flying creatures lazily flapping by.

In Mass Effect 3, should one use the final Renegade options, The Illusive Man's last sight and words regarding the view of Earth are enough to make even players who hated Cerberus from the beginning shed tears.
Mass Effect: Andromeda, being all about exploring and settling a new galaxy, takes it to the franchise's stunning extreme. No matter where the Tempest makes planetfall, be it desert, glacier or jungle - once you've brought the respective world's Remnant Vault back online, everything that follows is pure unadulterated Scenery Porn. Your squad mates, even the most indifferent ones, are well aware of it and will often comment on how awesomely beautiful their new home is (as long as no Scary Dogmatic Aliens are shooting at them). How your Player Character reacts depends on how you play them; primarily choosing the emotional dialogue options will net you a Ryder who lives and breathes this trope all day long. The game's next-gen graphics really shine here, and nobody would blame you for taking a break from pathfinding, climbing to the map's highest point and just marvelling at the sight.

In The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure, all scenes are all black-and-white (or green-and-white, for the night-vision camera), with occasional colored objects for contrast. Likewise, the weather is cloudy, drab and glum for the first few in-game days of play. At most, you might expect a little color if Nigel's walking past a flower garden ... and then, when you get to May Day morning, the sky clears up and it's suddenly a brilliant, rich blue.

Puppet History: The final episode of the fifth season covers the death of the dinosaurs, and anthropomorphizes the asteroid that brought about the extinction event. The asteroid apologizes to the Earth for crashing into it, and says it's scared to stop moving, but it has no choice. It then gazes down at the planet, and as a rapid fire montage of Earth's most beautiful natural landscapes plays, it decides that, if its journey through the universe must end, it's glad that it's happening here.

The end of Final Fantasy VI is this to a T - with Kefka defeated and the world restored, the heroes fly around the world in their airship, joking around with each other as scenes play of the towns and villages of the world rebuilding and the citizens living their lives again. It ends with Terra climbing to the front of the airship and taking off her headband just to let her hair fly in the wind.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon:
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, the characters have this moment many times - in the lake with the Volbeat and Illumise, seeing the sunrise after coming back from the dark, at the top of Sky Peak, etc.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity also uses this multiple times, most notably in the ending, where the hero is treated to a gorgeous panoramic view of the world from high in the sky as they depart from it.

In Animorphs:
When they're trapped on an alien ship, they look out the viewport and see the Earth, described as being beautiful.
Also, in #7, the Ellimist explains his desire to save humanity by showing them a mental montage of different places on Earth and human culture, describing it as "a very beautiful planet" and "a priceless work of art".
This seems to be the reaction that Yeerks have when they first take over a host, allowing them to see for the first time; even Visser Three was awed by it. Also, in #19, when finding out that Aftran kept her agreement to free her host and willingly go back to being blind and helpless, Cassie looks around and is in awe of all the beauty she was willing to give up.
In #11 after the Animorphs are trapped in a rainforest and finding it hard to adapt, Rachel exclaims that the rainforest is not worth saving. Later, they change their minds when they morph the jaguar and finally see the rainforest in all its glory. Ax confirms this to the group <You have an amazing planet. Amazing.>

Pokémon Black and White. The first time you cross the Skyarrow Bridge into Castelia City. It's absolutely beautiful. It even comes with an awesome, catchy background song and frequent camera pullbacks so you can get a full view of the bridge. If you're crossing it at night, the lit up skyline of Castelia City is pretty awesome-looking, too.

Wakfu: This is the perspective of Qilby the Traitor, but unfortunately, in his madness he takes it to a villainous extreme. His motivation for starting the Eliatrope-Mechasm war was because he'd observed everything there was to observe on the Eliatropes' original homeworld and nothing there felt new to him, and the Eliatropes' Homeworld Evacuation during the war would enable him to explore, observe and study the rest of the Krosmoz. He also proves that he only cares about the wonders of the Krosmoz that he encounters insofar that he can study them and learn new things, and he's fine with destroying an entire world to fuel the Zinit once he thinks he's seen everything worth observing.

The Elder Scrolls:
Morrowind features some of the best looking landscapes in gaming relative to when it was released. These are beefed up even more using the Morrowind Graphics Extender which includes a higher view distance than normally possible in game. It brings some fresh awe to the venerable old game.
Skyrim:
Skyrim throws in aurorae for extra effect.
Climb to the top of the Throat of the World. Look to the east. You can see all the way to Morrowind. To the west, Hammerfell and High Rock, and Cyrodiil to the south. Throw in the Clear Skies Shout and gape in awe.

Fry. One time they went to the moon (Faster than Fry could do a countdown for liftoff). Of course Fry loved it and Leela was thinking, 'it's just the moon, we travel to other planets all the time in the year 3000'. But by the end of the episode, Leela begins to understand how amazing the universe she lives in is to someone from the past.
The episode in which Farnsworth builds a forwards-only time machine also has one of these, when they travel past the destruction of the universe and it recreates itself around them.

In Apollo 13, the crew is forced to abort their moon landing after an accident, but to get home, they must orbit around the moon. During their orbit, they see their intended landing site, and flight commander Jim Lovell imagines what it would've been like if they landed, walking, running his hands through the moon dust, and staring in awe at the distant Earth. As his fellow astronauts enthuse over the staggering sights they can see through the windows, he covers the Earth with his thumb, reveals it again, and asks quietly, "Gentlemen, what are your intentions? (Beat) I'd like to go home." The sentiment is also referenced early in the movie, as he looks up at the moon after the successful landing of the Apollo 11 mission: "From now on, we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. And it's not a miracle. We just decided to go."

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy:
Arthur Dent is awed by the diversity of alien life, having lived on Earth all his life. The others don't fully appreciate his wonder. There's a great little scene in the first book where Arthur is, naturally, awed by the sight of a double-sunset and goes on and on about how beautiful it was. And Marvin says: "I've seen it; it's rubbish." Earlier, the narration states that "even the most seasoned star tramp can't help but shiver at the spectacular drama of a sunrise seen from space, but a binary sunrise is one of the marvels of the Galaxy." Even Zaphod stops babbling to watch it.
Also: The Magratheans built luxury planets. In the film we see the earth being built from an elevator in space.
The film also displays this impulse with Slartibartfast's casual line, "Voila! Himalayas. Good, eh?" Arthur, meanwhile, is too overwhelmed to speak.
The inhabitants of Krikkit, when they first escaped the black clouds that surround their planet and saw the universe, had entirely the opposite reaction.

Final Fantasy loves this trope:
In Final Fantasy III, leaving the Floating Continent for the first time. In the original NES version, there are very few hints that the (massive) world map is only a floating part of a bigger earth. Leaving it, and realizing the entire earth below is drowned underneath a vast ocean, is one of the most beautiful moments without dialogue in Final Fantasy history.
The end of Final Fantasy VI is this to a T - with Kefka defeated and the world restored, the heroes fly around the world in their airship, joking around with each other as scenes play of the towns and villages of the world rebuilding and the citizens living their lives again. It ends with Terra climbing to the front of the airship and taking off her headband just to let her hair fly in the wind.
Used as an in-game trope in Final Fantasy VII, when the characters are awed during Bugenhagen's lecture at the Observatory. The player will also have this reaction when first entering the World Map field, since the story has been confined to one big city for so long, then the whole world is revealed, showing that this is just the beginning.
Barret also reflects on this when looking at Gaia's Cliffs.
All but two of the characters in Final Fantasy XIII spend most of the game believing the lower world of Pulse is literally Hell. Then they actually go there, and well, Pulse makes Pandora look like Detroit.
The second half of the opening trailer to A Realm Reborn all but screams this, especially after the first half, which was the last thing Legacy players saw before the game originally went down, had the world all but annihilated by Bahamut. Amazing what can happen in five years.
The world of Final Fantasy XV is so awesome that Square Enix made a trailer just to show off some the environments.
Many of the heroes from Dissidia Final Fantasy, before they are all sent to their individual homes take in the simple but astonishing beauty of the world around them.
It's also rather poetic as it could easily be considered one big "thank you" to the game that started it all, since the world in question is the very first Final Fantasy world ever.

A major theme in the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful by Nightwish.
"Shudder Before the Beautiful" is specifically about the world as seen through the perspective of science and evolution.
The titular song of the album sums the whole feeling of this trope up in the chorus:
The dark and polemical "Weak Fantasy" inverts this in describing religious fundamentalism's view of the world as stuffy, poisonous, limited and a poor story; "Yours Is an Empty Hope" does something similar, though its target is more ambiguous.

Origin Story:
Alex Harris looks at the sky at night while she's cranked up her eyesight to ultra-high magnification (she's a Kryptonian) and is immediately awestruck. She comments about how such natural beauty never seems to be mentioned in the comic books.
When Alex is first thrust into the Marvel Universe, while she is falling uncontrollably to the ground from orbit, she has two thoughts. The first thought is absolute panic about her situation. The second is "the same thought every astronaut ever had once had, viewing the world from this distance: the Earth is a beautiful and singular place."

The LEGO Movie. "Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you're part of the team!" Downplayed in that the sentiment itself is a high-energy distraction from the enforced corporate conformity that the song is also helping to perpetrate.

Arthur Dent is awed by the diversity of alien life, having lived on Earth all his life. The others don't fully appreciate his wonder. There's a great little scene in the first book where Arthur is, naturally, awed by the sight of a double-sunset and goes on and on about how beautiful it was. And Marvin says: "I've seen it; it's rubbish." Earlier, the narration states that "even the most seasoned star tramp can't help but shiver at the spectacular drama of a sunrise seen from space, but a binary sunrise is one of the marvels of the Galaxy." Even Zaphod stops babbling to watch it.

In Space Battleship Yamato 2199, before the crew of the Yamato leave their solar system, they get one last view of the earth. When they left, the earth was a barren, crater-pocked, red planet that was slowly dying. From beyond Pluto, however, due to the fact that the light from the earth would take several years to reach their position, they got a glimpse of the earth before the war with the Gamillas: blue, vibrant, and beautiful.

The random world generation in Minecraft can lead to strange but beautiful landscapes. Pretty much the first thing any player does when opening a new world is find the highest nearby point and just look at things. Even after you've played for a long time, taking a little exploration trip to a new part of the world can still awe you!
And someone has made a Minecraft version of the Discovery channel ad mentioned at the top of this page, bringing things back full circle.
They then made a Minecraft version of the second video, viewable here.

The Matrix Revolutions:
The film has a scene near the end where a hovership breaks through the omnipresent cloud cover and into the sky. Up to this point, everything in the real world was under perpetual darkness (while everything in the Matrix had a sickly green hue). After two-and-a-half films worth of this visual oppressiveness, the sight of white clouds in a blue sky is shockingly beautiful, which Trinity notices.
Also, the nearly-full Moon, untouched and looking down on the troubled Earth as it always has.

In Riven, there are various assorted rides, including a mine cart and a submersible, but the biggest example is definitely the coaster rides one takes from island to island.

A sunrise in Spore. Especially a binary sunrise.
And, if you're patient, a solar eclipse. Equally amazing on a planet or a gas giant's moon.

Pokémon: The Series:
In Pokémon: The Original Series, a Pidgey dreams of flying into space. He does, and tells Meowth how beautiful the Earth is, before he can't fly any higher and descends.
Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon has a lot of stunning views of Alola. The way the saga is framed helps Ash to form a real emotional connection to the region.

It's good that James May has been brought up because Top Gear, the series he's best known for, has a more than a fair share of moments, usually during the specials. Stand-out examples include the sunset on top of Kubu Island in Botswana, the Stelvio Pass overlook in Switzerland, and a good portion of the Nile River and Vietnam specials. It's quite something to watch the three grumpy middle old men go "Huh, that's pretty amazing actually."

This trope is the very symbol of the Mother series.
In EarthBound (1994), Jeff (or the whole party) will travel the world via the Flying Machine, swooping down over nearby places.
Mother 3 has two, both dealing with traveling through the air. The first time, the party runs up a mountain, then sleds down it inside a fridge to fly through the air and back to their town. The second time, similarly, consists of the party traveling via a bird-powered... err, bird cage.

Arriving in a bustling city for the first time has him in awe like a kid in a candy store, and he can't wait to learn what an ocean is. Flare is also happy to eat bread from a local bakery and likes it so much that he has no problems eating it off the floor.

The Sandman (1989):
A lot of the surrealism in the comic can be like this. A little girl becoming a bird, any scene where we are shown the castle of the Dreaming or in a dark version the palace of Lucifer, all the Gods visiting Morpheus in Season of Mists, Morpheus' hair and Delirium shaping little soap bubbles into a multitude of signs and figures in Brief Lives.
Lucifer is relaxing on a beach while an old man muses on the beauty of a sunset. After the old man leaves, Lucifer addresses God:

The Myst series is of course filled with Scenery Porn left, right, and center, but there are a few spots where the artists were clearly just showing off:
A staple of all the early games were the flybys one gets when first looking into a Linking Panel.
In Riven, there are various assorted rides, including a mine cart and a submersible, but the biggest example is definitely the coaster rides one takes from island to island.
In Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, the moment one heads out of Gahreesan's opening tower, they're treated to a lush, tropical environment which simply looks huge. One can bask in the ambience for quite a while. Ahnonay gets this treatment too, even once one's figured it out.

Mass Effect: Andromeda, being all about exploring and settling a new galaxy, takes it to the franchise's stunning extreme. No matter where the Tempest makes planetfall, be it desert, glacier or jungle - once you've brought the respective world's Remnant Vault back online, everything that follows is pure unadulterated Scenery Porn. Your squad mates, even the most indifferent ones, are well aware of it and will often comment on how awesomely beautiful their new home is (as long as no Scary Dogmatic Aliens are shooting at them). How your Player Character reacts depends on how you play them; primarily choosing the emotional dialogue options will net you a Ryder who lives and breathes this trope all day long. The game's next-gen graphics really shine here, and nobody would blame you for taking a break from pathfinding, climbing to the map's highest point and just marvelling at the sight.

ElfQuest:
There's a subversion when the character Skywise has spent his entire life obsessing over the stars, and finally gets a chance to fly a spaceship. He makes the walls of the ship translucent to show everyone the beauty of space, only to find that his best friend Cutter (the comic's main character, who suffers from fear of heights) just wants to close his eyes and get back to earth.
Played straight when an elf girl takes Skywise to the top of a cliff so he can see the ocean for the first time. Awestruck, all he can say is "Could I be alone for a little while?". This is followed by several panels of the scene pulling back as he stares, awestruck, at the immensity of the sea.

The Lord of the Rings, which also counts as "New Zealand Is Just Awesome". Revisited in The Hobbit. Specifically, Sam's speech near the end of The Two Towers, invokes this trope openly, reflecting on the irony of how dark things are in "the great stories" just before good triumphs, as we see Man and Ent vanquish the evil of Saruman's forces at Helm's Deep and Isengard, after a hard-fought campaign. The way the camera pans out high over this image provokes a sense of relief, and a vindication of what Sam is talking about.

Dark Souls's Lordran may be a ruined Crapsack World, but my can that Gorn be beautiful. There's a reason "Gorgeous view" is a possible statement to write down for other players.
Dark Souls II is no slouch in this department either. The view at the end of Aldia's Keep right before and after the Guardian Dragon boss is particularly breathtaking.
Dark Souls III being developed for the succeeding generation of systems, can show off the hidden beauty of Lordran even more. Of note is the first time the player gets to see Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. Which after slugging through catacombs that is essentially a That One Level, the player exits on a cliff overlooking a misty frozen medieval city illuminated by the pale moonlight.

In the various Transformers cartoons, many Cybertronians (like Seaspray, Inferno, Prowl, and even some versions of Starscream) express this feeling when they take in the Earth's natural beauty.

In the Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit, Bilbo climbs the tree in gloomy Mirkwood to "have a look about." He emerges above the trees and all about him sees a profoundly beautiful wilderness with deep purple butterflies floating above.

In Alex Rider's sixth book, he's IN SPACE on a space station about to explode. He needs to get out quickly. He runs for the rocket but on the way he stops. Why? There's a window facing the Earth. He stops to stare at it. Let's face it, who would really want to waste an opportunity to do that?

A weird variation in Soylent Green, which is set in Crapsack World future where the environment has been totally wrecked. Those members of society who have had enough and go in for voluntary euthanasia are treated to a video montage of what the world used to be like. So it's like The World Was Just Awesome before it got all fucked up.
