For a hundred years we’ve “known” – – at least intellectually – – that the earth floats silently in space.



An island in the cold and vacuum. But that knowledge was intangible.

Until the Apollo 8 astronauts. They brought emotion to understanding with their now familiar image of earth – a “blue marble” suspended in a black void. Creating an icon for the 60’s, and a symbol of our interdependence as a species.

Once again, it is a message worth repeating.
