Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌍🌏 This image shows our Earth 54 years apart The bottom left corner represents an image taken in daytime by the crew of the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 The top right corner was taken this year showing Earth at nighttime taken by the crew of Artemis II #EarthDay #Artemis #Apollo
Image Credit: NASA 

Taken by Artemis II crew, The right hand side corner of the image, the South Pole is towards the top and the North Pole is towards the bottom left. If you zoom in, you can see auroras visible at both poles. The bright glow towards bottom right is zodiacal light, a glow caused by sunlight scattering off dust. The Sun is behind Earth, which is what is causing the glow.

The left hand side corner image, popularly known as the “Blue Marble,” was captured as the Apollo 17 mission traveled towards the Moon in 1972. It is brighter because it shows Earth's daytime face, lit by sunlight. Both images show the continent of Africa. Artemis captured the northernmost part of it (oriented “upside down” in this view), while Apollo captured more of the central and western parts, as well as Madagascar.
