New Delhi: NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has released pictures of 21st version of an amazing 'Earthrise' as seen from the Moon.

In the new picture released, the Earth rises spectacularly as a tiny blue marble rising above the surface of the moon. The picture was captured on February 1 with LRO spacecraft's wide-angle camera.

LRO experiences 12 "earthrises" every day.

The image has been captured recalling the first 'Earthrise' photo that was taken by Apollo astronauts in 1968.
