This time, not brought by the nice people at Astronomy Picture of the Day[^]. We have here a family portrait of Earth and Luna[^], backlit by the sun. The exposure was too short to catch any nightside lights. What we have instead is the atmosphere bending sunlight, much as we see on the surface: orange close to the horizon, edging up to a glorious blue. On the left is a slim crescent moon. The page also has a small slide show of other stunning space images. Enjoy!
