A view of Earth and the Moon in isolation
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft took this parting shot of Earth and the Moon on September 18, 1977. It was our first-ever view of the two celestial bodies in isolation within a single frame. Voyager 1 was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth at the time. The image was constructed from three photos, while the brightness of the Moon was enhanced for clarity.
