A colour photograph of Earth, captured on December 7, 1972, during the Apollo 17 mission. Often associated with the "Blue Marble" sequence, this perspective shows the African continent, with a clear view of Southern Africa and Madagascar, set against the deep blue of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Vast white cloud formations and cyclonic swirls dominate the Southern Ocean, leading toward the Antarctica south polar ice cap. This image was taken during NASA's final crewed lunar landing mission.
