[:ja]50年前の7月20日にアポロ11号の宇宙飛行士(多分バズ・オルドリン氏)が月の表面から撮影した地球です。他天体から地球を俯瞰することは、人類がそれまでに経験したことがない視点でした。その後、人工衛星などを活用して、宇宙空間から地球の生物、大気、海洋、氷、エネルギーが相互作用し、地球を維持しているかを多少理解できるようになりました。

[Earthview Wonders] No.814: Earth From Moon

50 years ago, an astronaut (probably Buzz Aldrin) on the Moon captured the Earth. The Apollo 11 astronauts brought back a perspective on Earth that humanity had never experienced. For the first time, we saw our planet as a whole, a small blue and white globe against the black vastness of space. Today we utilize the view from space to learn how life, land, atmosphere, ocean, ice, and energy interact to create the Earth system that sustains us.
