Emily, you are welcome to add this to the planetary society page, but remember the version I linked to is larger.

It's not packed solid cloud though - it's bitty, hazy perhaps -not full on blanket covering. Certainly enough to let the reflection through

Emily, you are welcome to add this to the planetary society page, but remember the version I linked to is larger. Thanks, Ted! I've been out of town for a few days, so a bit out of the loop, but I'll be back home tonight and will DEFINITELY add your cool Zond images to the site. And congrats on APOD, Doug! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Just to clarify one point, Ted's Earthrise is actually an Earthset. So is the famous Lunar Orbiter 1 view of Earth over the lunar horizon. Only Apollo (among those early missions) saw the Earth rise.

Doug: Congratulations!
Phil: I had no idea. The images come from a variety of sources, and I ordered them without even considering that it might be an earthset! -------------------- |

In images 2 and 4 of the Zond sequence the Lunar horizon part of the photos are identical with no perspective change as one would expect from an actual orbital sequence. Only three of the images are thus part of a valid sequence.
I would love to have a full res color version of the 'Earthset' Zond image TASS released in B&W, which I saw and photographed at the Hansen Planetarium when I worked there. Don |

It is actually image 2 that isn't a valid part of the sequence - I created it using image one and three in order to even up the time intervals.

That's just renered from the Blue Marble data set. Nice - but not real

The Japanese GMS-5 satellite used to produce full disc images every half an hour. By the time I managed to construct a rather rough animation of full disc cloud movements their camera was failing (as you can see in the following animation).
