Earthrise over the Moon’s limb
This image is known as “Earthrise over the Moon’s limb” and was captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The image was taken on October 12, 2015, using the LRO’s narrow-angle camera (NAC) and wide-angle camera (WAC).
The image composition shows the Earth rising over the lunar horizon, as seen from the spacecraft’s vantage point orbiting the Moon. The photograph is a modern homage to the famous Apollo 8 Earthrise image from 1968, but with far higher resolution and color fidelity.
