If you are in this photo raise your hand, ha! This is a picture of NASA's latest "Blue Marble" image of Earth. The agency has just released it via its Flickr stream and calls it the "most amazing, highest resolution image of Earth ever." It was taken by a newly launched satellite. The first Blue Marble photograph, shot by the Apollo 17 crew in 1972, became famous around the world, notes Mark Memmott of NPR. NASA has added others since, and one shot in 2002 is especially familiar to iPhone users as a default background image. This really puts the Earth in a whole new perspective, hu?...literally!
