>speed of the rise
It's a still.
But here's an alternate title for you: "Picture from Spacecraft in Orbit Around Earth's Moon (Not an Asteroid or Other Celestial Body in Momentary Proximity) as Motion Causes the Earth to Appear to be Above the Lunar Rim."
Hopefully this is sufficiently clear.
- nyc111 8y ago> It's a still. I'm referring to the video in the article. On 2:00 and 3:00 you can see the earth rising. When I first saw this photo years and years ago I instinctively believed that the way we see the sun rise on earth due to the motion of the earth, the earth rose on the moon due to the motion of the moon (because the photo was titled "earthrise"). I learned later that the earth did not rise from the horizon like this, but wobbled in the sky. That's all. No need to change the title. But I still think it is misleading to call it "earthrise"
