The Blue Marble, is a famous photograph taken of the Earth by astronauts on December 7, 1972. It is likely the most widely distributed photographic image in existence. The image is one of the few to show a fully illuminated Earth, as the astronauts had the Sun behind them when they took the image. To the astronauts, Earth had the appearance of a glass marble (hence the name, Blue Marble).
