TOP FIVE Photos of Earth From Outer Space #shorts

These are the 5 most amazing photos of Earth from outer space.

At #5 we have a time-lapse of Venus, Earth, and Mars captured from the NASA-ESA Solar Orbiter from 155.7 million miles away.

With #4, we have a picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon, the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft. It was recorded by NASA’s Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth on Sept. 18, 1977.

Coming in at #3 is an iconic picture that shows Earth rising out from beyond the lunar surface captured from Apollo 8. The original picture showed Earth coming out from behind a vertical horizon with north at the top, but NASA felt the public would grasp it better if it showed the Earth from a horizontal point of view.

At #2, we have the Blue Marble taken by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft. It may be one of the most widely distributed photographic images in existence.

And #1, the Pale Blue Dot, a photo of planet Earth from a record distance of about 3.7 billion miles away (6 billion kilometers) captured on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1.

The pale blue dot has to be one of the most humbling images I’ve ever seen 👍

This makes me tear up a bit. The pale blue dot is such a powerful thing

The earth is so beautiful, why can’t we all be friends?

This is such an amazing short, that I think it deverves a full length video of at least 5 min with a more detailed explanation of each pic!

Out of all the images of planets captured, tho as mysterious and gorgeous as they are, Earth is the most beautiful. I've never seen the video from Apollo 8. Thanks Chuck.

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar, " every "supreme leader, " every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
-Carl Sagan

The Pale Blue Dot and the Carl Sagan speech along with be mandatory to be taught in schools.

The Pale Blue Dot is such a relaxing picture. Anytime I'm frustrated or angry or overwhelmed I can look at that photograph and it all melts away. We are so tiny and insignificant, nothing we do matters, nothing that happens matters.

I love this video, seeing earth from outer space gives me joy

[kevinkailher]

I remember reading pale blue dot by carl sagan it definitely peaked my curiosity at the time

[juliusferrer]

this is such hearttouching shorts. idk it made me cry. Ive never felt this love for our planet

[EggmondChad]

Idk why but the universe is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes, this truly is an incredible place.

That's so freaky viewing the vertical horizon as if it was taken while orbiting the moon. The inverted photo gives it the impression of standing on a flat surface looking at the Earth, the other way is like hanging on the side of the moon while snapping the photo.

So awesome bro!! Like they said on an Apollo mission “we come to the moon and discovered earth” as many don’t agree but earth is the most beautiful planet!!👍👏👏
