"Blue Marble" Passion
BLUE MARBLE "Blue Marble" is a famous photo of the Earth taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on December 7, 1972, and is one of the most widely reproduced image in photography history. The shot became very famous because it is one of the few that shows the Earth completely illuminated. At the time of the shot, in fact, the Sun was behind the astronauts, thus illuminating the perfect sphere of our planet. From the distance of about 45,000 km, the Earth appeared to the astronauts as a "blue marble", from which the shot itself took its name, although the official name of the image is AS17-148-22727. |
THE BLUE MARBLE COLLECTION La "Blue Marble" inspiró una serie de monedas que representan la Tierra. Las monedas de esta serie tienen una forma esférica tridimensional y un hermoso recubrimiento de esmalte, y están muy logradas, ¡como la fotografía! Dos emisiones de la colección representan Pangea, el supercontinente que incorporó casi todas las masas terrestres de la Tierra. Pangea Blue Marble está ahora disponible en dos colores: Oro rosa sobre un recubrimiento de esmalte azul translúcido y Oro sobre un recubrimiento de esmalte negro translúcido. Ambas monedas tienen un peso de 3 Oz y un diámetro de 50 mm. |
