After the picture became famous all three remembered seeing that remarkable sight and each was pretty sure they had snapped the shot. NASA policy is to credit the entire crew for all mission photography, so there is no official position.NASA has verified that the 2012 "blue marble" images are composites, made from multiple images taken in low Earth orbit. The picture is composed of data obtained by the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the Suomi NPP satellite on January 4, 2012. For Apollo 17 Cernan had chosen Joe Engle, a former X-15 pilot, and the two trained for months as the backups for Apollo 14. Space-based imaging technology has continued to advance in its capacity to render astonishing detail.

White clouds swirl north over deep blue oceans and the green middle of the African continent, then a tan arc caps the image with the dry lands of Arabia.Taken with a Hasselblad film camera, it was the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and is believed to be the most reproduced image of all time. The science information will be ozone and aerosol amounts, cloud reflectivity, cloud height, and vegetation information. The Lunar Module Pilot on that crew was Jack Schmitt, a Harvard-trained geologist who was a scientist-astronaut. The Behaim Globe is a digital reproduction of a globe crafted at the time of Columbus' first sea travel to the west. At five hours and a few minutes into the flight of Apollo 17 one of the crewmen looked out the window.

The true camera image is upside-down by earthly standards, showing the South Pole at the top of the globe, because the camera was held by a weightless man who didn't know down from up. Most people who glanced out the window and saw something like that would be distracted no matter how busy they were. Nice to give them something truly special as a gift, I’m sure they will appreciate them for many years to come.With 120 colours to choose from, we're confident that you'll find the right paint for every room in the home from the Fired Earth collection. But today, NASA commissioned EPIC to take images every 13 minutes for three hours, creating an almost real-time view of the planet. Kessler have linked these new generation of images picturing the cosmos with the philosophical concept of the sublime. The Apollo 17 crew were on their way to the moon when the photograph was captured at 29,000 kilometres (18,000 miles) from the Earth. Which is highlighted beautifully with translucent ice blue enamel and our continents accentuated in white colouring.

The first landing on Apollo 11, for instance, blasted off toward a new quarter-moon and the crew saw no more than a three-quarter Earth. The second snap yielded the sharper image that's become famous, so a minute's attention was involved. This storm had brought flooding and high winds to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu on December 5, two days before the photograph was taken.

It was the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and the only one ever snapped by a human being. You can also use it on exterior wood, but do bear in mind that it would be for decorative purposes only, rather than offering protection to the wood.
