Pale Blue Dot: As it headed out into space past Neptune, Voyager 1 turned back to look at where it had been, capturing this image of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and the "pale, blue dot" of Earth. These are the last images Voyager 1 sent to Earth. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and 2 continue to send back data from their ongoing missions through interstellar space. (Image: NASA)
The "Blue Marble" (Apollo 17): This iconic and stunning view of Earth, now known as the "Blue Marble," was taken by the crew of the last Apollo mission - Commander Eugene A.

View of Earth and the Moon together: The Applications Technology Satellite (ATS-1) carried a black-and-white weather camera which transmitted the first full-disk Earth images from geosynchronous orbit. On Dec. 22, 1966, ATS-1 captured this image of Earth and the Moon together. ATS-1 was 22,300 miles from Earth and more than 270,000 from the Moon when the photo was taken. (Image: NASA)
