The new Earth-rise image shows our blue world floating in the blackness of space.Released Tuesday, it is a still shot taken from video made by the craft's high-definition television (HDTV) for space.
A second image, taken from a different location in the lunar orbit, has been dubbed "Earth-set." A related series of still images shows our planet setting beyond the lunar horizon.
In the Earth-set image, Earth appears upside-down; visible are Australia and Asia. A region near the moon's south pole is seen in the foreground.
The footage was taken Nov. 7 using equipment provided by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation.
