    Earth Photo Gallery

    Our home planet as seen from orbit and beyond — a perspective that never gets old.


    What's in This Collection

    Our home planet as only astronauts and spacecraft can see it. Views from the ISS, Apollo missions, the Kaguya lunar orbiter, Voyager, and NASA Earth-observing satellites. Full-disk Blue Marble portraits, city lights across continents at night, dramatic weather systems, and geological wonders from orbit — the Grand Staircase, Meteor Crater, Grand Prismatic Spring. Also includes astronaut perspectives: earthrise from lunar orbit, ISS twilight, and the Pale Blue Dot from 3.7 billion miles away.

    Why These Images Stand Out

    Earth photography from space carries an emotional weight that other astronomical subjects don't — these images remind us of the beauty and fragility of our planet. The Apollo earthrise photographs helped launch the modern environmental movement. The Pale Blue Dot remains one of the most referenced photographs in human history.

    Metal is especially striking for Earth photography, where the blues and whites of our atmosphere take on a luminous quality against the reflective substrate. Every image is also available on canvas and fine art paper.
