Looks upside down. Are the astronauts standing on their heads?

@robpumphrey Or we!
It doesn't matter up there 
gri573@stux I'm wondering if this is the first (or among the first) picture taken of the entire earth at once using a smartphone... (Not aware of anything involving people substantially above low earth orbit since the Apollo missions, and don't see why people would would put a smartphone on an uncrewed mission (excluding individual components))

Michelle HughesFinally, another one of these!
The only one we've had forever is the Apollo 15 one.
Once, maybe around 2008, I seem to recall finding a page from a Japanese probe that was landed on the moon and had photo archives available to the public, and it had some new full-disc-of-the-earth pics, but I can't find them anymore.
But now there's another one!
Also, there's tons of mosaic pictures from leo satellites, but I don't want that, I want photos of the earth, that show the clouds and everything.
This was probably the Japanese probe I was thinking of. Kaguya (selene). It was an orbiter, not a lander.

I can't find the gallery of pictures on the website, tho.
