“We came all this way to explore the Moon,
and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.”
–
William Anders,
Apollo 8 astronaut
From the very beginning,
we have used our unique vantage point in space to look back home.
Now,
we’re gearing up to celebrate the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay and we’ve got big plans!
Every day from now until Earth Day,
we’ll bring you new and historic looks at our home planet,
including behind-the-scenes explanations of how we study it,
and environmental challenges we’ve seen and helped solve from space.
Follow @NASAEarth as we count down to April 22.
