Earth and Moon from Mars


Earth Moon from Mars

If your problems seem huge, here’s a reminder of just how small we really are.  This is an image of our Earth and Moon from the planet Mars.

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter snapped this photo on October 3, 2007.  At the time, Earth was 88 million miles from Mars.  You might be able to make out South America at the lower right.
