Obviously an iconic photo but I think NASA ought to put an asterisk to clarify that the earth appears to rise because of the motion of the orbiter. This is clear from the speed of the rise anyway. Knowing this fact would not reduce the value of the image.
But here's an alternate title for you: "Picture from Spacecraft in Orbit Around Earth's Moon (Not an Asteroid or Other Celestial Body in Momentary Proximity) as Motion Causes the Earth to Appear to be Above the Lunar Rim."
I'm referring to the video in the article. On 2:00 and 3:00 you can see the earth rising.
When I first saw this photo years and years ago I instinctively believed that the way we see the sun rise on earth due to the motion of the earth, the earth rose on the moon due to the motion of the moon (because the photo was titled "earthrise"). I learned later that the earth did not rise from the horizon like this, but wobbled in the sky. That's all. No need to change the title. But I still think it is misleading to call it "earthrise"
