The Blue Marble.

#earth #space #nasa #history #thebluemarble

Side-by-side comparison of Earth seen from space. On the left, the “Blue Marble” image from the Apollo 17 mission (1972) shows Africa, Antarctica, and swirling white cloud systems over deep blue oceans. On the right, a modern Earth image labeled Artemis II (2026) shows a similar full-disk view with Africa and the Atlantic, with slightly different lighting and color tones. Both planets appear against the blackness of space, with text labels and dates at the bottom of each image.
