from the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya, in orbit around the Moon since mid-October, here's an HD photo of Earthrise. More notable for the high def view of the Moon than Earth (when compared to the historic 1968 Earthrise photo we all know from Apollo) it still blows my mind when you stop to think about what it really means....that little blue ball floating in the blackness......

Reminder: Even HD photos are not always 100% as they first appear. Case in point, this photo, and the famous Christmas Day 1968 Apollo snapshot, have been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. To be able to see the Moon beneath and the Earth 'rising' the satellite (or crew) would need to be in a polar orbit around the Moon. In all photos so far, this is not the case. The reality of the photo is that the Moon fills the right side of the frame vertically, and Earth moves from the center towards the left as it 'rises'. Doesn't make for as appealing a photo, does it?
