Only 24 people in history have ever seen the full sphere of Earth in space. šš§āš
@erika.hamden explains that this rare view is only possible when you travel far beyond low-Earth orbit. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station can clearly see Earthās curvature, but because theyāre still so close to the planet, they canāt see the full globe in a single view. Every person who has seen the entire Earth suspended in space was part of an Apollo mission that traveled to the Moon and back. Thatās what makes upcoming lunar missions so exciting. When Artemis II carries astronauts around the Moon, theyāre expected to become the first people in more than 50 years to witness that extraordinary sight.
