Description
Earthrise from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows our blue planet poised above the Moon’s airless horizon. Captured by the LRO Camera on October 12, 2015, the composite recalls Apollo-era Earthrise imagery from a modern robotic vantage point.
Cloud systems, oceans, and continents contrast with the gray lunar foreground, emphasizing the color and delicacy of Earth against deep space.
Produced from NASA’s official 8,000 × 11,655 master, every available paper, framed-and-matted, and stretched-canvas size remains above 300 PPI with only a restrained crop to the native portrait composition.
