China’s Chang’e 5T1 test mission took this stunning photo of the Earth and Moon Monday, 27 October. The 8-day mission launched October 23 and is now making its return trip to Earth. 

The spacecraft carries a small reentry vehicle to test spacecraft properties returning to Earth at lunar velocities. This is in preparation for 2017’s Chang’e 5 mission, which aims to land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon, collect samples, and return them to Earth.
