   Earth’s First

   1. First Full-View Photo of Earth

   This famous “Blue Marble” shot represents the first photograph in which Earth is in full view. The picture was taken on December 7, 1972, as the Apollo 17 crew left Earth’s orbit for the moon. With the sun at their backs, the crew had a perfectly lit view of the blue planet.

   2. New Blue Marble

   North and Central America star in a new “blue marble” picture of Earth. The high-resolution composite was made with data collected January 4 by a NASA satellite.

   The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project, or NPP, launched on October 28, 2011, to become NASA’s next-generation Earth-monitoring probe. The satellite was designed to help improve short-term weather forecasts and increase our understanding of long-term climate change.

   The 2012 blue marble was released this week to mark the announcement of the probe’s new name—Suomi NPP—in honor of the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin, a pioneer in satellite meteorology.
