The Blue Marble...
"Blue," for Earth Day, Macro Mondays.
I had in mind the image of the "Blue Marble" taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972, but even more so the image by Bill Anders taken aboard Apollo 8 entitled "Earthrise." Finally, the alignment of the earth and sun was suggested by the main title sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The marble is 0.5 inches in diameter and the image is 1.75 inches in greatest dimension.
