These images from a Japanese satellite, the Kayaga Probe, are the first high-definition images of Earth rising above the moon’s horizon. That’s Antarctica at the top, Australia in light brown. The lower right is the Middle East. From the moon, it all looks so beautiful. No inkling of this morning’searthquake in Chile, oil spills in the Black Sea and the San Francisco Bay, the recent fires in Southern California, the war in the Middle East, the melting glaciers, the global saber-rattling. Is this how future generations will greet the day?
