Even after 50 years this picture still gets to me.

That is definitely an awesome picture showing the Earth that small!

Would be an amazing view. Nothing on the moon for size reference, but the earth would look four times bigger than the moon looks to us. Assuming of course, that the distance from the earth to the moon is the same as the distance from the moon to the earth.
