First picture of the Earth from the Moon

For space fans (and most kids are fascinated by space) this is a cool look back in time - well, a relatively short time for some of us. This is the first image of the Earth taken from a lunar orbit. If I recall, the image was sent using technology similar to that used by fax machines - you can see the lines left from the printer.

This is from Nasa's web site, which provides details about the image and links to much larger images.
