Abstract:

|
In conjunction with the 30th Anniversary Apollo 17 mission, NASA put together a special release highlighting one of the most popular photos taken during this mission. The photo (#AS17-148-22727) was taken on Dec. 7, 1972 from the Apollo 17 command module. It was the first full Earth photograph revealing the Antarctic continent. Over the years, many other satellites have taken imagery of Earth, including Terra/MODIS. This animation uses a global mosaic derived from Terra/MODIS. As a tribute to its predecessor, this Blue Marble data set has been aligned to the same angle and pitch that the famous Apollo 17 photograph was taken.
