Earth and Moon

Before heading towards Jupiter the Galileo spacecraft took these last images of the Earth and Moon in 1992. Although this image is a composite of two images, the scale is realistic. Please note that lunar and terrestrial features shown in this sequence are analogues in morphology but not necessarily in size or in mode of formation.
