Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS The Most Spectacular Photo Ever Taken Of The EarthDecember 08, 2007by joskirps The Blue Marble is a photograph of the Earth taken on 7 December 1972 by the crew of the Apollo 17. It is considered to be the most famous photography of the Earth ever taken, and it is even one of the most often printed and distributed images in the history of photography. Apollo 17 was launched that day, which means that the photo has been taken on the way to the moon, about 5 hours and 14 minutes after launch. When the picture was taken the Apollo 17 capsule was already at a distance of about 29,000 kilometers from our planet (that's around 18,000 miles). Unlike many other Earth picture taken from space the Blue Marble image shows the entire planet, this is due to the fact that the spaceship was heading directly towards the Sun when the photo was made. It was the first photography ever of the Earth of offer such a high image quality. The photo was taken using a 70-millimeter Hasselblad, the same camera type used to make the photos on the moons surface. <center>  </center>It is not absolutely sure who made the famous photo (as there were three crew members in the Apollo capsule), but it is suspected that it was <a href="www.galaxiki.org/web/main/_blog/all/who-was-the-last-man-on-the-moon.shtml">Eugene Cernan</a> (who was also the "<a href="www.galaxiki.org/web/main/_blog/all/who-was-the-last-man-on-the-moon.shtml">last man on the moon</a>"). As Apollo 17 was the last manned lunar mission this photo can also be considered to be the last photo from the Earth taken by a human at such a distance.

Typical galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million[3] (107) stars up to giants with one trillion[ase practice test] (1012) stars, all orbiting the galaxy's center of mass.
