Views of Earth from space, especially this one taken by Apollo 8 astronauts from lunar orbit in December 1968, helped spur a new appreciation for the fragility of our home planet. Along with many environmental problems, that helped spur the creation of Earth Day, the first of which was celebrated 50 years ago, in 1970. [NASA]
