One of the first images taken by humans of the whole Earth. Photographed by the crew of Apollo 8 (probably by Bill Anders) the photo shows the Earth at a distance of about 30,000 km. North is at the top, with South America visible at the covering the bottom half center, with Africa entering into shadow. North America is at the top left.
