在这张令人惊叹的照片中，我们美丽的星球在太空的黑色背景下呈现出弯曲的、阳光照耀的新月。从不熟悉的角度来看，地球很小，就像一个遥远的行星的望远镜图像，整个地平线完全在视野之内。国际空间站上的工作人员享受着这种美景，只有在近地轨道上才能近距离观察地球。每90分钟绕地球一周，云、海洋和大陆的奇观在它们下面滚动，远处是地球边缘的部分弧线。但这张经过数字修复的图像所呈现的景象，迄今为止只有24位人类，即1968年至1972年间往返月球的阿波罗号宇航员，拍摄过。原始照片AS17-152-23420，是1972年12月17日阿波罗17号返航的宇航员拍摄的。到目前为止，这是人类用手拍摄的最后一张地球照片。

Our fair planet sports a curved, sunlit crescent against the black backdrop of space in this stunning photograph. From the unfamiliar perspective, the Earth is small and, like a telescopic image of a distant planet, the entire horizon is completely within the field of view. Enjoyed by crews on board the International Space Station, only much closer views of the planet are possible from low Earth orbit. Orbiting the planet once every 90 minutes, a spectacle of clouds, oceans, and continents scrolls beneath them with the partial arc of the planet's edge in the distance. But this digitally restored image presents a view so far only achieved by 24 humans, Apollo astronauts who traveled to the Moon and back again between 1968 and 1972. The original photograph, AS17-152-23420, was taken by the homeward bound crew of Apollo 17, on December 17, 1972. For now it is the last picture of Earth from this planetary perspective taken by human hands.
