Photograph of the Earth and Moon Taken by Voyager 1
Summary
Original caption: This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon — the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft–was recorded 09/18/77, by NASA’s Voyager 1 when it was 11.66 million kilometers (7.25 million miles) from Earth. The Moon is at the top of the picture and beyond the Earth as viewed by Voyager. In the picture are Eastern Asia, the Western Pacific Ocean and part of the Arctic. The photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed by the Image Processing Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.
