TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's space agency said Wednesday it has shot the first high-definition image of the Earth rising, showing a crystal clear blue planet emerging from the moon's horizon.
The images were taken by Japan's Kaguya probe, which is carrying out the most extensive investigation of the moon since the Apollo missions of the United States that began in the 1960s.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said in a statement that the agency, working with Japan's public broadcaster NHK, had "successfully performed the world's first high-definition image of an earthrise"
