Description
This image is a composite made from a series of images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. 47 years after the Apollo 8 astronauts shared a spectacular image of Earth rising on the lunar horizon, the new image celebrates the first views we had of deep space.
Capturing an attractive and realistic image of the Earth and Moon in one scene with the LROC is not simple. Since the spacecraft, Earth, and the Moon are all in motion, LROC's science team had to do some special processing. The LROC's high-resolution Narrow Angle Camera only takes black-and-white images, so the team also had to merge NAC observations with color information from LROC's lower-resolution Wide Angle Camera to produce the image above.
This is a public Domain Image that is digitally enhanced for print.
