Earthrise and Earthset

By Widge - posted 11.14.07 @ 1:12 am

This is pretty freaking cool, taken from hi-def video shot from a Japanese lunar explorer in orbit around the moon. Now while this is the first hi-def video of the Earth shot from the moon, it's certainly not the first Earthrise we've seen. What was the first any-def video shot of the Earth from the moon, though? Anyone know?
