The first image of earth was taken by Apollo 17 spacecraft when it was on its way to the Moon. This is one of the most viewed and shown images in history of space study.Earth looked like a blue marble with white swirls with some parts yellow,green,white and brown from the space.In the day time astronauts could see the different land forms on earth and at night they could see the lights of the cities from earth.
The earth looks amazing from space. It is a breathtaking sight with many features that are quite difficult to discern up close. From the moment when the Earth was photographed from space, people around the world have been trying to discover what it looks like from there and how it works. As humans continue to explore space, they are beginning to gain a better understanding of what it would be like if we were ever able to leave our planet and explore some other distant place in the universe.
