An Earth Ornament Credit:
In 1994, the Clementine spacecraft captured this mosaic of 70 high-resolution images of Earth from lunar orbit. The swirling clouds and colors give our planet the appearance of a delicate ornament. This view echoes the inspiring images taken by the Apollo 8 astronauts in 1968.
