Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Neat-o!
makes you really appreciate the beauty of our planet and the universe
Thats beautiful
Fantastic!
Wow, it really puts things in perspective.
This is a really beautiful pic 
I clicked the link, though, and it said it is a pic taken from the distance of Mars, 'as seen from Mars'. However, I don't think the Earth and moon would look that big from Mars. I always thought they would look like stars, if anything. Of course I know we have pics around of Venus and Saturn taken from the surface of our planet that come in quite nicely, but they have been taken with telescopic lenses. Would that still mean 'as seen from Earth', or is that cheating, so to speak?

On the day this image was taken, the Japanese Kayuga (Selene) spacecraft was en route from the Earth to the Moon, and has since returned spectacular images and movies.

Definitely taken with a telescopic view. But still - imagine being able to look with a magnifying telescope and SEE another world like Earth with water and a huge moon... it's
Amazing. 
Makes me feel so small.
