Home This image shows the sunlit side of Earth, observed in 10 wavelengths by the EPIC instrument aboard the DSCOVR satellite. Each image shows the same snapshot of Earth in a different wavelength. The specific wavelength bands are indicated above each image. (NASA/NOAA) This image shows the sunlit side of Earth, observed in 10 wavelengths by the EPIC instrument aboard the DSCOVR satellite.

This artist’s illustration shows an enhanced-color image of Earth from NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument (top). EPIC observes the planet in 10 wavelength bands, shown here as 10 representational-color images (middle).  (NASA/NOAA/JPL-Caltech)
This image, taken by NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft from beyond the orbit of Neptune, shows planet Earth as seen from about 3.7 billion miles (5.9 billion km) away. Earth appears as a very small point of light in the right half of the image, indicated by an arrow. Dubbed the “Pale Blue Dot,” the image illustrates just how small an Earth-sized planet appears from far away. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
