Oh, no, this photo is not from 7800 miles - from much farther out taken on the approach. We will not start getting the photos from the closest approach until sometime tomorrow and the full data download taken in highest resolution will not be completed until October 2016 (yes, 2016, not 2015) as the download speed is about 1k (as in...a very, very slow dial-up modem).
