The astronauts took several photos of Earth that day. A cropped version of one of them, AS17-148-22727, became one of the most famous images produced by the US space program.

The image known as "The Blue Marble" shows Earth from a distance of about 18,000 miles. Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the South Pole are all visible, as well as parts of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
