@wonderofscience Very cool.😎
@wonderofscience This is probably the fakest looking real footage I've ever seen
Justin Derrick@msb98 @wonderofscience That just tells you how good we are at emulating reality. ;)

I hear
hurricanes a-blowin'
I know
the end is comin' soon
I fear
rivers overflowin'
I hear
the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's bad earth on the rise
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️The crisp edges of the Moon's horizon looks fake without atmospheric distortion/haze effects. I'm not saying it IS fake, I know better, just that it looks that way since it looks so different than what we're used to seeing.
anomalocaris@wonderofscience Struck dumb by the beauty of our planet - what a sight.
Oscar Sjöstedt Art@wonderofscience 🤩 amazing! It boggles my mind that we are a space faring species.
ebuising@wonderofscience when I see this beautiful planet rise above the moon, I also think about terrible and dangerous idiots like Putin or Trump or the ceo’s of big oil and coal companies destroying our precious and delicate home. Why?
LiverpoolWiz@wonderofscience Earth is so beautiful. Pity we're wrecking it.
Sid Wishes@wonderofscience thank you. Intense beauty
Havyhh2@wonderofscience ...so cool this!
Diamond Joy@wonderofscience
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Ludibriumventis@wonderofscience I can see my house from here!
australopithecus@wonderofscience nobody mentioning it yet so I'll be that guy: there is no "Earth-rise" on the moon because it's tidally locked such that the same side always faces the Earth; therefore Earth is always in the same spot in the sky on the moon. What we're seeing here, rather, is the pov of Kaguya coming over the horizon toward us.

💉*9 Roger@australopithecus @wonderofscience you are right, but just to be picky, we do see the moon slightly wobble as it orbits. I suspect someone on the Lunar surface at just the right longitude might see the earth rise and set in an up/down way, but not tracking across the sky.
Hawaiiboy (Randy)@wonderofscience the earth will be fine. Humans not so much
Rai Aren 🖖✨📚🇺🇦@wonderofscience Magnificent!!!!! 🤩 🌎 💙 💚
Adeptus Alexus@wonderofscience surreal! the moon surface almost looks fake untill the shadows come in on the craters! very cool shot.
