Interesting to compare the space shuttle manoeuvring in Earth orbit with these High-Definition images of an Earth-rise (Wide Shot), 31 Oct, [Earth-set (Tele Shot) below the fold] from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) “KAGUYA (SELENE)” satellite in lunar orbit – original footage here
Alternatively you could compare the Earth-set, 31 Oct, HD footage from the same craft – original footage here
