The Earth and Moon as Seen From Mars

 

This composite image of Earth and its moon, as seen from Mars, combines the best Earth image with the best moon image from four sets of images acquired on Nov. 20, 2016, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

 

When the component images were taken, Mars was about 127 million miles (205 million kilometers) from Earth.
