Photographs of the whole planet taken by astronauts, Earthrise from Apollo 8 and The Blue Marble from Apollo 17, which shaped the modern sense of Earth as a single fragile world. A work belongs here when its article calls it a photograph of Earth taken from space. Items are placed by the form their cited article names for them, and each item sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a work that fits two forms goes where its article places it first.
