Israeli Spacecraft Takes the Ultimate Selfie on Its Way to Making History on the Moon
Israeli spacecraft Genesis ("Beresheet" in Hebrew) has taken the ultimate selfie on its roundabout journey to the moon. Organizers for the privately funded mission released the photo Tuesday, 1 ½ weeks after its launch. It shows the spacecraft orbiting some 23,300 miles (37,600 kilometers) away, with the entire Earth as the stunning Apollo-style backdrop. Australia easily stands out. A plaque reads: “Small Country, Big Dreams” and “The people of Israel live.” Source - https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/israeli-spacecraft-takes-the-ultimate-selfie-on-its-way-to-the-moon-1.6998653
