EARTHRISE seen by Japan's Kaguya spacecraft

Japan's Kaguya spacecraft orbited the Moon from 2007 to 2009. It created a detailed topographical map of the surface and captured stunning views from a high-definition camera.

Image processor Seán Doran used those views to create this 4K video of Earth rising and setting on the lunar horizon.
