That looks like footage taken from the CM orbiting the Moon.

This is what it says on the page:
Video of Earth rising and setting over the moon's horizon, taken with the HDTV camera aboard Japan's KAGUYA (SELENE) lunar explorer on November 7, 2007.

There is another site with a couple videos that are extraordinarily clear here: ?????/?? ????? - ???????zoome
(an image here: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/img...kaguya_02l.jpg)
There is a longer, wider version of the above at youtube here (note: it won't embed in the right size: it's worth going to youtube to see it): |

Actually, there is no "earth rise" or "earth set" from the moon except in orbit. Once on the moon's surface, your view of the earth has a fixed position in the sky, unless of course, you decide to move your family from the southern crater Tycho to some nice lakefront property on Mare Tranquillitatis. Then your permanent view of earth would change from horizonal to overhead.

Ruben has been trying to convince me to move to the moon: the view is almost worth it.
I think on one of the youtube pages it said something about how the earth rise/set only aligns with the orbit of the Kayuga explorer twice in the year.
