The KAGUYA's onboard high definition television(HDTV) took a picture of "Earth-Rise" around the North Pole and "Earth-Set" around the South Pole on 7 Nov 2007(JST). 「地球の出」は北極付近から、「地球の入り」は南極付近から「かぐや」の搭載したハイビジョンカメラによって07年11月7日に撮影されました。
due to the space between the earth and the moon and the laws of perspective, the moon (because it is in the extreme foreground) will look bigger than the earth (in the extreme background).
My understanding is that nothing can take the place of actually seeing the lunar suface from Orbit but I can hardly wait for the data from the LRO. Image resolutions will be far beyond anything we have seen before.
@theta757 This is actually the size the moon would appear from the moon, without using any zoom.

Why the Earth looks so small? Anybody has the answer?

OMG just mind blowing, hard to take in the enormity of what we are seeing. Our world does look so small out there.

Why does the earth not appear bigger in this video? Being many times the size of the moon, you'd expect it to occupy a large part of the horizon...
