    EarthRise II

    Courtesy of SELENE, the Japanese lunar orbiter and its HDTV camera

    Suddenly, from behind the rim of the moon, in long,
    slow motion moments of immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling
    blue and white jewel, a light delicate sky-blue sphere laced with slowly
    swirling veils of white, rising gradually like a small pearl in a thick sea of
    black mystery. It takes more than a moment to fully realize this is Earth...home.

    -Astronaut Edgar White, Apollo 14

      Gorgeous. But why does every picture of Earth taken from the moon only seem to show Africa?

        If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

            I don't think Africa is visible...rather Antarctica, Australia & SE Asia.
