The European Space Agency's Hera asteroid mission has beamed back its first images from space, capturing a stunning view of Earth and the moon.
The Hera spacecraft successfully launched toward the asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos on Oct. 7, meant to follow up on NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. After waking up its instruments, the probe looked back at home and snapped a final shot of Earth and the moon floating in the darkness of space.
