A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sinks behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark side of Earth experiences nighttime. On the day side of Earth, swirling clouds are visible over Australia and the Oceania.

The image shared by NASA comes 57 years after the historic "Earthrise" image taken by an astronaut aboard Apollo 8, the first spaceflight to take humans around the moon in December 1968.
