Must – See Photo Of ‘Earthrise’ From Moon

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured the image above while in orbit of the moon.

NASA explains the details seen in the photo:

In this composite image we see Earth appear to rise over the lunar horizon from the viewpoint of the spacecraft, with the center of the Earth just off the coast of Liberia (at 4.04 degrees North, 12.44 degrees West). The large tan area in the upper right is the Sahara Desert, and just beyond is Saudi Arabia. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.

Going by this pic, it's a small world after all.
