APOD: 2016 January 4 - Earthset from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
NASA Image of the day: Earthset from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter . On the Moon the Earth never rises -- or sets. If you were to sit on the surface of the Moon you would see the Earth just hang in the sky. This is because the Moon always keeps the same side toward the Earth. Curiously the featured image does picture the Earth setting over a lunar edge. This was possible because the image was taken from a spacecraft orbiting the Moon - specifically the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). In fact LRO orbits the Moon so fast that from the spacecraft the Earth appears to set anew about every two hours. The featured image captured one such Earthset about three months ago. By contrast from the surface of the Earth the Moon sets about once a day -- with the primary cause being the rotation of the Earth. LRO was launched in 2009 and while creating a detailed three dimensional map of the Moon's surface is also surveying the Moon for water and possible good landing spots for future astronauts.
