A Chinese satellite swooped behind the moon and Horned Japanese Female College Student: Pleasure Share Housesnapped a shot of two worlds: the heavily-cratered moon, and in the distance, the cloud-covered planet Earth.
The image, captured on February 3, shows the far side of the moon that us Earthlings never see. The moon is locked in orbit to Earth, meaning that the same side of the moon is always facing us. But as the image shows, the moon's far side is often illuminated by the sun, exposing the impact-blasted, grey lunar desert.
Meanwhile, some 239,000 miles away, clouds swirl over Earth's lands and oceans, and life goes on.

This moon-orbiting technology is not associated with any government space agency, so it falls into the category of an "amateur" satellite — though it's certainly capable of sophisticated science and maneuvering through space.

Things have certainly calmed down since then, allowing life to thrive on the blue ocean-world that is Earth.
