You may be familiar with the famous "Earthrise" image taken by Apollo 11 astronauts, in which they see Earth rising from the moon. Well, JAXA (the Japanese version of NASA) has their Kaguya spacecraft orbiting the moon right now, and they took a time lapse of Earth rising with their camera. I did not expect to be quite as moved by the sight of it as I was. Seeing our home world from this perspective is certainly unique. Please enjoy!
