This infrared photograph was taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope. “The region pictured here is immense, with a horizontal span of 890 light-years and a vertical span of 640 light-years. Earth is located 26,000 light-years away, out in one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms. Though most of the objects seen in this image are located at the galactic center, the features above and below the galactic plane tend to lie closer to Earth.” – Click to enlarge, or click here for a super high resolution version (29MB).

This photo is pretty amazing. It is the first photo, ever taken of Earth, from the Moon. The photo is turned sideways so I could fit it in the post, so click on it to see it full size. This photo was taken in 1966 by Lunar Orbiter 1. The photo was taken a couple years before the first humans landed on the Moon and took even more detailed, and colored photos. This may not be colored, and it may not look as spectacular as those photos, but this is may be one of the most important photos in the history of mankind. Thanks to APOD.
