Earthrise and earthset

All I can say is FANTASTIC. This really is the whole planet "in your face" The wonder of this never ceases to amaze me. Hope you like it too.
A blue Earth sets over the Moon’s horizon in pictures released yesterday by the Japanese space agency JAXA. The images were taken by the Kaguya probe as it orbited the Moon at a distance of about 100 kilometres (62 miles). Kaguya, which is named after a girl carried into space by angels in a Japanese fairy tale, is part of the most detailed lunar mapping project since the American Apollo missions that began in the Sixties.The first image of the Earth from space was taken in 1959 by the US Explorer VI while it passed over the Pacific.
