Abstract
It’s been called “one of the most reproduced photographs of all time” and the image “that reframed everything.” On December 7, 1972, during a trip to the moon, the crew of Apollo
17 captured the earth, illuminated blue and white, glimmering in space. Often referred to as the “Whole Earth” or “Blue Marble” photograph, it has become a defining symbol of NASA’s
space program and an icon in US and global visual culture.
