Some wallpaper is gone from iOS 6. Why?

Why is the shot of the Earth from space, not available as wallpaper in iOS 6? Why did they remove it?

And is there any way to get it back?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

I'm not normally one to resurrect a dead thread, but I just noticed it was missing and luckily I know what the original photo is called. The image is the "NASA Visible Earth", and you can download western- and eastern-hemisphere versions at the following link. I recommend the large JPG.
