South Korean Moon Mission Delivers Devastatingly Gorgeous Earth Views

South Korea’s Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter spacecraft, known as Danuri, has sent back some high-resolution images from the moon. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute shared the views on Twitter this week.

The first two come from late December and show the cratered landscape of the moon with Earth peeking above the horizon. The images are reminiscent of Earthrise views seen from NASA’s Apollo and Artemis missions. KARI shared a second set of Earth images snapped during the new year.
