300 - The Earth from Clementine

This was imaged by the High Resolution Camera at 750 nm on 11 April 1994 during lunar orbit 242. This mosaic was put together from over 70 HR images as the Clementine spacecraft's attitude was adjusted to scan the sensor across the Earth in strips.

The image shows a 2° by 2° field of view and has a resolution of 6 Km from a distance of about 380.000 Km.

Africa and the Middle East are clearly visible on the right, with South and Central America visible on the left.
The Caribbean, Florida and the the Eastern US (mostly under cloud cover) are visible near the top of the image. North is to the upper right.
