This is what both the Moon and Earth look like from Mars

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Many are the missions that today are trying to investigate Mars as much as possible to prepare man for a possible arrival. Among them today we have to talk about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter or more specifically one of his instruments, the one baptized as High Resolution Imaging Science Experimenta high resolution camera which has been in charge, in one of the turns that the probe makes of the neighboring planet, to take the photograph that you can see right at the beginning of the extended entrance.

This photograph where you can see both the Earth and the Moon, apparently was captured by the probe in the past November 20th 2016, was carried out with the sole objective of calibrating the data collected by the probe. In all this type, from NASA they have been working, in turn, to offer an image with a much more intense patience since, as they have commented, in the original photo, for example, the Moon is much darker than it is. you can see in the photo.

Mars

but I do not understand what you wrote

Even so, in the photograph both the Earth and the Moon continue to maintain the distance as can be seen from the red plant, a distance that, according to NASA, is equivalent to about thirty times the diameter of our planet although, in the photograph, that distance seems less. Another point to keep in mind, according to the scientists, is that at the time the photograph was taken, Mars was at a distance of about 205 million km.
