Shown as a film transparency, a positive image on clear film meant for backlit viewing, this picture of Earth from space comes from the era when spacecraft photography first reached the public. Images like it were exposed on film, then mounted in slide frames for projection and reproduction. Early views from orbit and the Moon changed how people pictured their planet, showing it as a single, bounded sphere rather than a vast landscape. Its place on a board devoted to astrology and magic reflects how the heavens have long drawn both scientific and symbolic attention.
