Earth in Focus: A Century of Space Photography From Apollo to Artemis

Earth in Focus chronicles Earth Day’s origins and a long legacy of awe-inspiring images captured from space, from the 1946 V-2 photo to Apollo 8’s iconic Earthrise, through the Apollo era, the ongoing work from the International Space Station, and the contemporary Artemis II era, highlighting how robotic and human spaceflight have repeatedly captured breathtaking views of our planet and helped inspire environmental awareness. The piece notes a 12-photo gallery and frames these images as a thread linking exploration with Earth conservation.
