Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system. Also the closest planet to the sun. It is slightly bigger then the moon. The surface of Mercury is similar to the moon, it is covered in craters from asteroid impacts. Its atmosphere is much thinner then Earth, so instead of most being burned up in the atmosphere it crashes into Mercury. It is heated by harsh warm weather during the day and frozen during the night.

Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured a unique view of Earth from the spacecraft’s vantage point in orbit around the moon. Seen in this composite image, we see Earth appear to rise over the lunar horizon from the viewpoint of the spacecraft, with the center of the Earth just off the coast of Liberia. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.

LRO was launched on June 18, 2009, and has collected a treasure trove of data with its seven powerful instruments, making an invaluable contribution to our knowledge about the moon. LRO experiences 12 earthrises every day; however the spacecraft is almost always busy imaging the lunar surface so only rarely does an opportunity arise such that its camera instrument can capture a view of Earth.

Breathtaking. A picture of Earth taken from the edge of the Moon’s Compton Crater by the LORC camera on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. 🌍 #NASA #Earth #space #theuniverse #science #planets #planetaryscience by april_enchanted

If you could see as well as the Hubble Telescope, you could stand in New York City and see two fireflies in San Francisco separated by one meter. by a_closed_book

La NASA ha dado a conocer que el próximo 25 de diciembre tendremos Luna llena, un evento que no ocurre desde 1977. A la luna llena de diciembre se le conoce como ‚Luna llena fría‘, esto debido a que ocurre al inicio del invierno.
El evento ocurrirá en punto de las 6:11 a.m. EST y es algo que no volverá a suceder hasta el año 2034.
