11 Photos Of Earth That Put Things In Perspective

1. This photo marks the last time a human saw the whole Earth from space.

2. On the way back from the moon, Apollo 11 crew saw a crescent Earth.

3. I hope you're not afraid of the dark.

4. You'll probably never see an Earthrise.

5. Or see Earth and the moon suspended in the sky from orbit around Mars.

6. Or be able to see for yourself just how tiny our atmosphere really is.

7. Just take a moment to think about that.

8. For the first astronauts on Mars, Earth will be just a tiny speck in the sky.

9. Yep, this is Saturn. But see that tiny speck just inside the second ring?

10. That's Earth.

11. And from 4 billion miles away, our pale blue dot is even smaller.
