7The Blue Marble (1972)
Another photo that transformed humanity’s view of Earth is “The Blue Marble,” taken by the Apollo 17 crew. It is one of the most reproduced images in history. This full-color photo of Earth from space, with its vibrant blues, whites, and greens, became an emblem for environmentalism and peace. The image reinforced the idea that Earth is a shared home, where boundaries are insignificant in the grand scale of the universe.
