Jul 22, 2013 · Jul 22, 2013. RELEASE 13-227. WASHINGTON — Color and black-and-white images of Earth taken by two NASA interplanetary spacecraft July 19 show our planet and its moon as bright beacons from millions of miles away in space. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured the color images of Earth and the moon from its perch in the Saturn system nearly 900 ...

Jul 18, 2013 · Jul 18, 2013. RELEASE 13-221. WASHINGTON — Two NASA spacecraft, one studying the Saturn system, the other observing Mercury, are maneuvering into place to take pictures of Earth on July 19 and 20. The image taken from the Saturn system by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will occur between 5:27 and 5:42 p.m. EDT (2:27 and 2:42 PDT or 21:27 and 21: ...

Voyager famously captured two unique views of our home world from afar. The upper image, taken in 1977 from a distance of 7.3 million miles (11.7 million km), showed the full Earth and full moon in a single frame for the first time in history. The second image, taken in 1990 as part of a family portrait of our solar system from 4 billion miles (6.4...
NASA’s Kepler mission captured Earth’s imageas it slipped past at a distance of 94 million miles (151 million km). The reflection was so extraordinarily bright that it created a saber-like saturation bleed across the instrument’s sensors, obscuring the neighboring moon.
This beautiful shot of Earth as a dot beneath Saturn’s rings was taken in 2013 as thousands of humans on Earth waved at the exact moment the Cassini spacecraft pointed its cameras at our home world. Then, in 2017, Cassini caught this final view of Earth between Saturn’s rings as the spacecraft spiraled in for its Grand Finaleat Saturn.
As part of an engineering test, NASA’s OSIRIS-RExspacecraft captured this image of Earth and the moon in January 2018 from a distance of 39.5 million miles (63.6 million km). When the camera acquired the image, the spacecraft was moving away from our home planet at a speed of 19,000 miles per hour (8.5 km per second). Earth is the largest, brightes...
A human observer with normal vision, standing on Mars, could easily see Earth and the moonas two distinct, bright “evening stars.”
Eight days after its final encounter with Earth – the second of two gravitational assists from Earth that helped boost the spacecraft to Jupiter – the Galileo spacecraft looked back and captured this remarkable view of our planet and its moon. The image was taken from a distance of about 3.9 million miles (6.2 million km).
Earth from about 393,000 miles(633,000 km) away, as seen by the European Space Agency’s comet-bound Rosetta spacecraft during its 3rd and final swing-by of our home planet in 2009.
The Mercury-bound MESSENGER spacecraft captured several stunning images of Earthduring a gravity assist swing-by of its home planet on August 2, 2005. Bottom line: Ten amazing images of Earth from space.
1 day ago · The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet.
The rest of us rely on images made by astronauts’ cameras and the satellites circling the globe ― and, from deeper space, by robotic missions looking back across the solar system. Early balloon and later rocket launches gave us a view of Earth from as high as 100 miles above the planet. Today we can look back at home from 100 million miles ...
2019 October 12. Interplanetary Earth. Image Credit: Explanation: In an interplanetary first, on July 19, 2013 Earth was photographed on the same day from two other worlds of the Solar System, innermost planet Mercury and ringed gas giant Saturn. Pictured on the left, Earth is the pale blue dot just below the rings of Saturn, as captured by the ...
