Here are some of pics of space taken by NASA satellites in the early 19 century

EarthRise, 1968 The Last Whole Earth Catalog described this image as: “The famous Apollo 8 picture of Earthrise over the moon that established our planetary facthood and beauty and rareness (dry moon, barren space) and began to bend human consciousness

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, 1979 Voyagers 1 and 2 both photographed Jupiter during flybys in 1979. The Great Red Spot, an ancient storm so large that three Earths could fit inside it, had been photographed from Earth before, but never in such detail

First step on the Moon, 1969 An estimated half billion people experienced it this way: in black-and-white, on television

HUBBLE ULTRA DEEP FIELD, 2004 The deepest (most sensitive) view ever taken of the night sky in visible wavelengths. The million-second exposure, taken over the course of 400 orbits by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows more than 10,000 galaxies.

UNTETHERED SPACEWALK, 1984 Bruce McCandless II ventured more than 300 feet from space shuttle Challenger in his jet-powered Manned Maneuvering Unit during mission STS 41-B. The first untethered spacewalk in Earth orbit.

Earth and Moon, 1977 Thirteen days after launch on September 5, 1977, on its way to Jupiter, Voyager 1 looked back and took the first-ever long-distance picture of the Earth and moon together. (The moon has been artificially brightened.)

Skylab Orbital Workshop, 1974 NASA’s first space station, Skylab, was almost an immediate failure. The first crew, led by Pete Conrad, saved the mission by installing a sunshade to replace a meteoroid/sun shield that had torn off during launch.

X-15, 1960 The X-15 made 199 flights to the edge of space between 1959 and 1968. Among its pilots was a young Neil Armstrong.

First Space Shuttle launch, 1981 Shuttle Columbia lifts off with John Young and Robert Crippen on board, April 12, 1981. The shuttles have carried more people into orbit than all other space vehicles combined, and are still flying 27 years later.

CAMERA PICTURE OF EARTH:

First TV image of earth from orbit, 1960 The first weather satellite, TIROS 1, was equipped with television cameras that photographed Earth’s cloud cover — the first in a long line of orbiting atmospheric monitors.

Solar flare from Skylab, 1973 NASA satellites stationed between Earth and the sun keep constant watch over the local star. The sun was an object of intense study by astronauts on the Skylab space station of the 1970s, which carried eight solar instruments

International Space Station, 2008 The largest object ever flown in space. First proposed in 1984, the orbiting laboratory is now nearly complete, with European and Japanese modules added earlier this year.

VOLCANO IN JUPITER:

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/1915/nasa5052046on08.jpg

Volcano on Io, 1979 Among the most important discoveries of the Voyager 1 mission was a plume erupting over Jupiter’s moon Io, seen serendipitously in a long-exposure photo — the first volcanic eruption ever detected beyond Earth.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: OUR WONDERFUL IMAGE OF EARTH
