These Gorgeous Pics of Earth From Space Will Give You the Chills

In 2011, this photo was taken from the International Space Station, giving us a unique look at the agricultural landscape in the western part of the Minas Gerais state in Brazil.

Earth looks teeny tiny in this picture taken from Mars by the Curiosity rover in February 2014.

Here we see the well-known "Earthrise" photo taken on the Apollo 8 mission. As NASA explains it, "On Dec. 24, 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were coming around from the far side of the Moon on their fourth orbit. Borman began to roll the spacecraft, and as he did, the Earth rose into view over the Moon’s limb. Anders, photographing the Moon from the right side window, caught sight of the view and exclaimed: 'Oh, my God, look at that picture over there! There’s the Earth comin’ up. Wow, is that pretty!' He snapped a black-and-white photo, capturing humanity’s first view of Earth from another planetary body."

Although not totally clear, this is the first picture of Earth ever taken from another planet that shows it as a planetary disk. Here, we see the Earth and the moon from Mars, captured by the NASA Mars Global Surveyor on May 8, 2003.
