The Blue Marble
This iconic photograph, known as "The Blue Marble", was captured by the crew of Apollo 17 in December 1972. It is famous for being the first photograph taken of the Earth in its entirety.

Isn’t it beautiful? I am especially interested in the “overview effect”.

The Overview Effect is a cognitive change of consciousness, reported by some astronauts and cosmonauts during spaceflight. After observing our planet from the universe, they feel an obligation and responsibility to take care of that fragile blue dot forever. Term coined by Frank White.
