Stunning, and you can just about see us in it’s reflection, Earthshine 👋

Can you post the NASA image link please? This photo is amazing.

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Very beautiful.
I love how you can see the other planets towards the bottom right of the moon.

This is so epic

Where is the glow coming from? Moon has no atmosphere. Is this space dust? Doesn’t seem like it. Can’t be CME either.

I understand now what Victor Glover meant when he said that it felt like they had gone totally scifi while looking at this. Incredible visual, I think I’d be overwhelmed looking at this in person

Great photo. We need the original though. I can see a lot of pixelation and artifacts.
Is this a render of what they would have seen or an actual photo? It’s so surreal

Few? I would think this is a first. Did anyone on the Apollo missions ever see this?

Seeing the corona of the sun like that is cool af.
I don’t exactly understand how the lit side of the moon is visible on the top right though, since the sun is directly behind the moon in this shot. Is it a perspective issue?

Seeing a lunar eclipse without even being on Earth is insane
rockylemon on
This is a cool photo but why are there such distinct shadows in the craters if the sun is directly behind the moon?
From the metadata it appears to be shot with a Nikon Z9 and 35mm lens which I believe they brought onboard last minute for testing
Yeebees on
So cool to see the planets joining in on the fun in the bottom right
analog_jedi on
Anybody know about how far away from the surface they were at this point?
sujins on
Is it Saturn over on the bottom right?

WOW ….

Is this NASA update?

I highly recommend using the Spatial Scene feature on iPhones/iPads to view these photos. So cool.

The left side is lit up a bit because of “Earth shine” reflected light off the earth.
I was going to add a smart arse comment about who it was shining off then thought better of it.

Nope, I’ve seen Event Horizon…

I assume these 3 bright dots are planets. Any idea which one?
Edit: Thinking about again, probably Venus, Jupiter and Saturn…

Oooh this turned out really good.
holmes9139 on
If I recall correctly, isn’t that Saturn, Mars, and Mercury in line on the right?
huxtiblejones on
Can’t imagine seeing this with your own eyes. Utterly surreal.

Gorgeous.

That seems like an awfully far distance beyond the Moon

Yea ok

Oh my god. I think this has vaulted to top 5 space pictures of all time.

Im surprised the stars in the background are picked up so well
siobhanmairii__ on
Almost two years to the day of the last total solar eclipse in the United States too! This is so sick
INFPinfo on
Um, the moon is flat.
immunotransplant on
Why didn’t they do the trip during a new moon do we can see the back side illuminated? Huge missed opportunity.

Absolutely insane image and moment

I wish Richard Wright was around to see this.
