This is really humbling, and is reminiscent of an earlier photo of Earth, Voyager 1's Pale Blue Dot. The opening picture shows the Moon, but in the background is the insignificant Earth - you, me, everyone and everything just floating there.

Thanks for that Steve, I and others have been wondering why the earth looks so small, yet from Earth the moon looks quite big
