I don’t see our moon. Maybe in the original high-res version?

Neither, op is wrong. From this distance the moon would not appear that far away from earth. In this version of the image the moon is basically in the same pixel as the earth.

to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever
known.

Just think, that little dot is every thing and person that ever was, it is our only home.
