Our home on a cloudy day in May 1969

May 18, 1969 - Apollo 10 View of the Earth
A view of Earth from 36,000 nautical miles away as photographed from the Apollo 10 spacecraft during its trans-lunar journey toward the moon. While the Yucatan Peninsula is obscured by clouds, nearly all of Mexico north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec can be clearly delineated. Image Credit: NASA

One of the many things I like about having a Chromecast is seeing images like this beautiful photograph of our home planet on a cloudy day in May 1969, courtesy of NASA’s Image of the Day initiative.
