  • Earth-Moon from Mars.....



    ...by way of the Mars Global Explorer in Mars orbit.

    Cool to see Earth as we see other worlds.

      They also got a good picture of Jupiter and it's moons:



      Both the Earth/Moon and Jupiter/Moons picture was colorized, the MOC on MGS is only B&W, and they also had to contrast stretch 'em to make the the moons (Jupitiers and Earth's both) visible since they are so much darker than the planets they orbit.

            Yeah.. it would be nice to have your own personal space station to set up that scope on!

            You can see so much more without all the atmospheric interference.
