“Europe’s comet-hunting Rosetta probe caught this glance of the Earth and moon as it passed through our planetary neighborhood during its March 4, 2005 flyby. The spacecraft maintained a constant moon-facing orientation during the swing past Earth, catching this image just three minutes before making its closest approach – about 1,954 kilometers – above the Pacific Ocean west of Mexico.”
