Blue Marble: How we first saw the whole Earth
Prof Robert Poole
The Apollo lunar programme of 1968-1972 brought the first photos of the Earth from space.
How were those pictures taken in pre-digital days, and were they responsible for kick-starting the environmental movement?
Historian of science retired Prof Robert Poole shows some of those stunning early images of Earth, and considers how fifty years of climate change have changed the face of the Blue Marble.
