Beautiful New 'Earth Rise'

This is the breathtaking new photo of 'Earth Rise' taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and it is holding all that see's it in complete awe. The new photo's detail is impressive allowing vast details of Africa's shape peering through the clouds. A huge improvement from the original 'Earth Rise'. 

The first photo of 'Earth Rise' was taken in 1968 when Apollo 8 completed its round trip orbit of the Moon. This image has captured the hearts of mankind for over 45 years, becoming a timeless iconic symbol of our home, Earth. 

                 

There is no doubt however, that both photos will continue to inspire many generations to come.
