This is an approximate true color view of Earth as seen by MESSENGER during its pass by our planet in August 2005, which I assembled from raw frames in 433nm, 559nm, and 629nm. The image is completely unenhanced, exactly as captured by the spacecraft.

That blue marble is pretty, be neat if we found intelligent life there
That is so beautiful. I hope we find other planets like it.
Every single day we don’t find any other life signs in universe, I appreciate how rare we are and it’s just something that blows my mind that in a yet to find life in our visible universe, we have life beaming in our entire world.
Wow that’s pretty dim!‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
It’s even more beautiful in true color.
Is it the same color as it was when we started taking color photos from up there?
I mean, the. Continents probably look different, less green and more brown. But are the oceans a different color now?
