Pictures from the Japanese Moon Probe Kaguya...........

This image is a still from a high-definition April 5, 2007 video of the Earth rising above the moon as seen by Japan's Kaguya lunar orbiter. The probe was about 236,121 miles (380,000 km) away from Earth at the time. Credit: JAXA/NHK.

Earth-set sequence: The images shot by the HDTV onboard Kaguya on Nov. 7, 2007 show the Earth setting to the horizon near the Moon's south pole. It took about 70 seconds from the left image to the right image (complete setting). Credit: JAXA/NHK
