About this deal

Be the first to hear about our new collections, interior trends for the season, exciting offers and events in your local showroom. Display your very own glass Earth marbles using the stainless steel stands, or throw them all into the drawstring pouch when you are on the go. The beauty of the Fired Earth Exterior Masonry paint range is that it comes in every one of their wonderful colours, all 120 of them, so you can be sure to find your perfect exterior paint colour, whether you want to go bold, traditional or contemporary. This image has also been used to validate state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis fifty years after it was taken. The Blue Marble is a photograph of Earth taken on December 7, 1972, from a distance of around 29,400 kilometers (18,300 miles) from the planet's surface.

The Blue Marble was not the first clear color image taken of an illuminated face of Earth, since such images by satellites had already been made and released as early as 1967, [7] and is the second time such a photo was taken by a person after the 1968 photograph Earthrise taken by William Anders of Apollo 8. Chari Larsson does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment. Known as the Pillars of Creation, the image captures gas and dust in the process of creating new stars. This projection results in a very wide-angle presentation such as one might get with a fish-eye lens, and it does not include the whole hemisphere. At the time, 1 km/pixel was the most detailed imagery available for free, and permitted for reuse [32] without a need for extensive preparatory work to eliminate cloud cover and conceal missing data, or to parse specialized data formats.At that time, Africa was in noon [8] daylight and with the December solstice approaching, Antarctica was also illuminated. The data also included a similarly manually assembled cloud-cover and night-lights image sets, at lower resolutions.

Up until this point, our view of ourselves had been disconnected and fragmented: there was no way to visualise the planet in its entirety.

It was a blue-green beacon in a vast black cosmos, beguiling them on a cellular level, getting smaller by the minute.
