What is “The Blue Marble”?
The Blue Marble is an image of Earth taken on December 7, 1972, from a distance of about 29,000 kilometers (18,000 miles) from the planet’s surface. It was taken by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the Moon, and is one of the most reproduced images in history.
In this image, Earth is revealed as both a vast planet home to billions of creatures and a beautiful orb capable of fitting into the pocket of the universe. This was Earth’s best image of all time, in its splendid form.
In this blog, we encourage the people, especially to mobilize the youth, to bring back the “Blue Marble” we call our home that we all hope for in this century.
