COSMIC MESSAGE
From the Moon's surface, Earth never rises or sets, it just hangs in the sky. This is because the Moon always keeps the same side toward us. This image, however, shows Earth setting over the lunar horizon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which orbits the Moon, captured this perspective.
