(The landing appears to have failed, by the way.)

Blue marble
Just in time for Earth Day, a new "earthrise" image from the Moon. This one was taken by the Hakuto-R mission from Japan's commercial company ispace as it orbited the moon, on April 20th. (They're landing today!) The angle is diverting (if not vertical!), the blue dazzling and a little disorienting - may I call it otherworldly?
