View of Earth from Moon | Earth Rise from Moon | Gingerline Media The view of the Earth rising above the moon's horizon. This video uses data gathered from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft and the images captured by the JAXA lunar orbiter KAGUYA (SELENE). All views have been sped up for timing purposes — are not shown in “real-time. The first images of the Earth from the moon came from the Apollo mission. Apollo 8 in 1968 was the first human spaceflight to leave Earth orbit. It was the first earthly spacecraft to be captured by and escape from the gravitational field of another celestial body, in this case the moon. In the decades since Voyager first began traveling outward, moon exploration has become more common. The robotic Kaguya spacecraft orbited around Earth’s moon in 2007. Launched by Japan, and officially named the Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE), Kaguya studied the origin and evolution of the moon.
