Just got a follow by me. I’m in Paul. I love NASA. It gives me hope.

And that's a follow!!! Isn't it such a delight?!

Nice !

~ Excellent ! Thank you ! 🚀💙🌎

A window on the world

So are they going in the direction of the Sun such that they look back and see the daytime side of the Earth? Is there a mission related reason to pick that time of the lunar cycle?

And that's a follow for me!

Yup

Any idea of the distance from 🌍 ?

Dumbass astronauts had the camera upside down smh

Wait. The Earth is upside down? Always has been.

Yes

no

thank you. live look of me looking at the planet before your comment.

Oooh duh the lights do give it away I hadn't realised

Thanks. I locked the rotation on my tablet and turned it around. It made it much clearer and see The Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean.

The original Blue Marble was also "upside down", seen here (Sourced from lpi.usra.edu)

Thank you for the orientation! I was thinking it might be Australia. Until I turned my phone upside down and the Iberian Peninsula jumped out at me

Is that Nordeste in Brazil on the right side?

You're correct, but I would say "further south." When you said "higher up", my brain immediately translated it as further north. I had to override my brain.

we need more images like that and south at the top 🤌

one object identified here bsky.app/profile/astr...

And ISO 51200, yeesh

The photo is heavily overexposed from the original. www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

Thank you, I couldn’t figure it out!

because doing that is boring, misinformative and north-centric

The view from my eye, notice the boredom setting in

Such a precious thing, and we are destroying it.

nice photo!

This picture makes me sad. So beautiful from afar. We could have nice things.

Flat Earthers must be tweaking right about now.

look i'm on there!

Our blue marble....

www.nasa.gov/missions/apo... Same mission as Apollo 8 & ~same view back to a borderless blue spaceship called Earth, the only place to live we can reach & know of in general so far. But worthless enough to kill our for living needed environment by greenhouse-gas-emission-man-made global heating.

This from Ed Mitchell

Beautiful 💕

Yeah but it's flat, right? Where are the flat earthers this morning? Nothing to say?

Terrible what we are doing to that beautiful thing.

❤️❤️ Gorgeous planet. Too bad people will ruin everything. The good news is earth will be here long after we’re gone.

Because we are quickly destroying this blue marble so they want to go somewhere else to see how fast they can F that up too

My theory is that deep down, something in their snake brain tells them they don't belong here, that what they are on planet is a pestilence, and they have a desire to flee consequences

The same reason for why we descended from the tree branches. Why left Africa. To explore. To learn. To discover. To boldly go where no one have gone before.

Wow

Amazing!

Isn’t she a beauty 🥹

Had to check, and yes, this is a real image from NASA. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

Darn. I’m not in this one.

Wow! So it's not flat after all! What say the flat earthers now?

That's a picture of our spaceship, with all of our life support systems and all human life with the exception of the Artemis crew. Yet we seem to be doing our damnedest to destroy it. 😭

This is the only one we have.

Stop effing around, you aholes. This is it.

Brilliant photo view

to think we have this and the 50 year old Earthrise photo and we still kill each other over imaginary lines and petty differences...

"I can see Russia from my porch!"-Sarah Palin

The fuck of it all is they're both right.

WOW that's a nice one 👍😍 Always gives me a bit of a shiver to see that (in a good way). It puts things into perspective like nothing else can. But first one has to be WILLING to see it and have the intellectual capacity to really understand what one is seeing. In the trump era that's sadly rare

Our precious planet. There is no "Planet B". This is it. The only planet we know of that can sustain our lifeforms......and there are a bunch of old men trying to destroy it.

I KNEW it was flat!

Wow look how dry the bottom of Africa is now? Compared to images from back when i was a kid 1969

Wow!

hey is me

"And i think to myself what a wonderful world" 🎵

Storm Dave bottom right North West of Portugal...👍

Amazing image

brought a tear to my eye. every person, plant, animal who has ever lived, all right there

Yes, and brightened a lot in post processing

hell yeah. the pure scale and awe of it makes every other earthly squabble feel petty by comparison.

Damnit! I closed my eyes just as the photo was taken. Can they take it again?

No, this is a pretty wide angle shot, comparable to the field of view of a phone camera

Needs a note: Warning Contains nuts

Oh wow!!

So long, Earth! Thanks for the air and stuff.

So, it IS round, after all.

Also note that our home is ROUND! 🥰🥰

I can see my house from here

Imagine Trump's comments on this photograph. Lol.

Was that after they learned how to clean the windows they dirtied while looking out the windows? 🤣🤣🤣

Billions for a picture? What is the moon going to do for life on earth?

Literally awesome.

You know what I don’t see??? Borders!

Spectacular. It is up to us to love and preserve this island in the sky. It’s all we have.

🤩

Which includes the folks on the ISS, which even if it happens to be behind the Earth is technically still in frame :3

Flat earthers will say this confirms that earth is Flat

Looks flat on my phone I gotta say

Such amazing events the US could be proud of and then you have Trump, oh dear.

And does it show deterioration as reported in the BBC updates?

Can they see the flashes and smoke from the explosions?

You can see both auroras too. Amazing

I didn't consent to this photo being taken of me =/

EARTH SLAPS

all I hear when I see this is the 3rd Rock guitar riff

So Earth is a flat circle? I thought it was more rectangle.

that white edge along the bottom of the disc **obviously** proves the Earth is flat? Who knew?! :)

Gosh n gee whiz...can i get a copy of this $40 BILLION DOLLAR PICTURE? 💰💰💰👎

See. It's flat!

Angry Birds Space taught me that's where the gravity is

Beautiful

Love this, thanks for posting. I admit I was hoping for a camera on the rocket, like was done on some rocket maybe 15 years ago?, where it was like looking at Google Maps shot ONLY IT'S LIVE AND REAL AND THUS SO COOL, as it took off.

This stupid orb is so beautiful

Beautiful 🌎

Ah... Nikon D5 with a 0.25s exposure. images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Our beloved ocean planet home.

Who is still claiming earth is flat!!???

Even though this is a group photo, can you not post pictures of me without my consent, kthx🤭

youtu.be/Q_6v-jh1Z5k?...

Imagine all the people trying to kill each other in this picture.
