Most likely all of us saw the sunrise, and now we offer to watch a video of the Earth rise.

Here's What We Know

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to share footage from the Orion spacecraft, which is headed to a distant orbit of the moon. On November 21, the satellite closed its capsule, causing the spacecraft to function without NASA specialists. At about 3 p.m. (EET) Orion reconnected with the operators, and a few minutes after that, it recorded a beautiful video.

NASA was broadcasting the video live, but it was not captured, so the space agency has published it separately. The video shows how the Earth rises "from the dark side of the moon". This impression is created by the fact that the moon was in shadow and couldn't be seen in the frame.
