NASA photo: "Earth View." Postcard 513-4 published by Hansen Planetarium, Salt Lake City, Utah (ca.1973)
“Enroute to the Moon, the Apollo 11 astronauts snapped this remarkable picture of the Earth at a distance of 180,000 km (112,000 miles). The bleak orange Sahara Desert, the Mediterranean Sea, Africa, Southern Europe, Asia Minor, and the Red Sea show clearly. The Congo, at the Earth’s equator, is buried under clouds.”
