The image of the Blue Marble is the most beloved and well-known icon in history. It is a real photograph of Earth taken by the Apollo 17 crew on the way to the moon, in 1972.  This photo was shot with an onboard Hasselblad camera; it is not a photo-shopped clip made by satellite images.  This was the achievement of our species, our civilization. Notice there are no political, no religious boundaries.
