Summary

Description
English: This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon -- the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft -- was recorded September 18, 1977, by NASA's Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth. The Moon is at the top of the picture and beyond the Earth as viewed by Voyager. In the picture are eastern Asia, the western Pacific Ocean and part of the Arctic. Voyager 1 was directly above Mt. Everest (on the night side of the planet at 25 degrees north latitude) when the picture was taken. The photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Image Processing Lab. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the Moon, the Moon was artificially brightened by a factor of three relative to the Earth by computer enhancement so that both bodies would show clearly in the print. Voyager 2 was launched Aug. 20, 1977, followed by Voyager 1 on Sept. 5, 1977, en route to encounters at Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980 and 1981. JPL manages the Voyager mission for NASA.
العربية: التقطت هذه الصورة للأرض والقمر وهما في شكل هلال - وهي الأولى من نوعها التي التقطتها مركبة فضائية - في 18 سبتمبر 1977، بواسطة المركبة فوياجر 1 التابعة لوكالة ناسا عندما كانت على بعد 7.25 مليون ميل (11.66 مليون كيلومتر) من الأرض. يظهر القمر في الجزء العلوي من الصورة وخارج الأرض كما صورت الصورة من عدسة فوياجر. في الصورة يظهر شرق آسيا وغرب المحيط الهادئ وجزء من القطب الشمالي للأرض. كانت مركبة فوياجر 1 فوق جبل أيفرست مباشرة (على الجانب الليلي من الكوكب في خط العرض 25 درجة شمالا) عندما التقطت الصورة. وأختيرت الصورة من ثلاث صور تم التقاطها من خلال مرشحات الألوان، ثم عدلت بواسطة مختبر معالجة الصور. نظرًا لأن الأرض أكثر إشراقًا من القمر عدة مرات، فسطوع القمر كان بشكل مصطنع حيث ضاعف الاضاءة عليه ثلاثة مرات مقارنة بالأرض بواسطة تعديل خاص بالحاسوب لضمان الجودة ولكي تظهر كلتا الهيئتين بوضوح في الطباعة. تم إطلاق فويجر 2 في 20 أغسطس 1977 ، تليها فويجار 1 في 5 سبتمبر 1977 ، وهي في طريقها إلى لقاءات في كوكب المشتري في عام 1979 وزحل في عامي 1980 و 1981.
