Photo of Earth and our Moon, from the Orion spacecraft
A few earlier spacecraft, on the way to Mars or Jupiter, have taken photos of the Moon and Earth from this distance, but I have never seen a shot with this much clarity. (Orion is in a much wider orbit than the Apollo craft were).
And this also gives me a chance to babble again about one of my pet peeves: the far side of the moon, which obviously is facing us in the picture, is not a "dark side". It gets as much light as the near side does.

These days the lollipop given by politicians to million people at once , is more intriguing than the things outer than earth .
If people will live more , they will explore more , but the damaging life on earth that they go through every day , reduces their desire to live or explore world as well .
