On October 3, 2007 NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera acquired this image of the earth and the moon from Mars enter image description here

The oceans and clouds can be easily distinguished and "the west coast outline of South America at lower right" is also visible.

What magnification would it be considered to render such detail in the image?
