Very cool

Hello again dot.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. — Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994
I often think about what an amazing time it is to be alive and how amazing all the tech we have at our fingertips is. But I am also incredibly saddened by the fact that I was probably born just shy of routine space travel. I can not even imagine how amazing it would be to look down on earth and see it in its entirety. Hopefully my kids or my grandkids will be able to achieve my dream and do exactly that.
WOW!!!!
A beautiful reminder of what's possible with photography when you're using more than a comparatively crappy iPhone Pro Max camera. (Oh and taking the shot from Outer Space.)
That picture of the "dark" Earth is most fascinating because everyone has seen a million images of Earth before, but how many have seen it in this view. The image by itself says a little about the Earths place in the planetary system.
Can't decide if this is "MOEAGARE ARUCHIMISU" moment or a "Transcending Time" moment.
Does there exist a camera that can zoom into a single person from this distance?
Can we confirm the cloud patterns match weather data from the same time? Might be a good way to verify.
Imagine that all our joys, problems and attachments are within that blue sphere
>The burn took the Orion spacecraft out of Earth orbit...
No it didn't. That would be catastrophic and likely fatal. They are going to the Moon, which is also in Earth orbit.
Once video models get better, hope we can also see some videos.
just curious to know why is there no dark on opposite side if sun is another side?
Come on flat-earthers. I know you are out there. Lets hear your crazy rant about how this is a fisheye lens on a weather balloon or a webcam atop the eiffel tower. Why can't we see the poles? And is that an ice wall on poking up in the lower-right quadrant of the disk?
I object to being included in this image without a model release and demand that pixel be removed.

Anyone find the full res version of this ?
Nasa images page is useless. Government work.
Literally a wasteful distraction from more important things
Nothing spectacular about it. Except for the obvious degradation of our planet, there isnt anything special about it. Its just our home.
