Earth's horizon looms on the left in the background. In the foreground, a spacecraft's tail parts fill the bottom of the image. Between the two is a triangle of black space containing the Moon.

Earth and its Moon are nicely framed in this image taken from the aft windows of the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998. Discovery—on mission STS-95—was flying over the Atlantic Ocean at the time this image was taken.
