The Most Iconic Images of Earth Taken From Space [Part-2]
Our planet appears as a brilliant blue marble wrapped in a thin, nearly invisible veil of gas.
Taken by: Apollo 17's crew
Date: 7 December 1972
The crew of the last crewed lunar mission, Apollo 17, took this 'blue marble' photo of Earth - one of the most-reproduced images in history (though no one is certain which astronaut took it) - from 28,000 miles (45,000 km) away on their trip to the Moon.
Africa is visible at the top left of the image, and Antarctica on the bottom.
And it drifts utterly alone in the blackness of space.
Taken by: Apollo 11's crew
Date: 20 July 1969
A view of Africa taken from 98,000 miles (158,000 km) away from Earth, while astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin were on their way to the Moon.
Well, almost alone.
Taken by: DSCOVR
Date: 16 July 2015
About twice per year, the Moon passes between DSCOVR and its prime target - and then we get a rare look at our satellite's far side. This series of images was taken between 3:50pm and 8:45pm EDT. (The yellowish line to the right of the Moon is a camera artifact.)
