A plasmaspheric image captured by the Chang’e-3 (CE-3) EUV camera at 13:01 UT on 21 April 2014 viewed from the Moon. The EUV emission intensity (in Rayleigh; 1 Rayleigh = 10 6 photons cm −2 s −1 sr −1 ) is indicated by the colour bars at the right of the panels. A sharp drop in the emission intensity represents the plasmapause as denoted by the white curves. The white arrows indicate the direction of the Sun. The black circles indicate the apparent size of the Earth.
