Planet Earth Seen From Space: A Very Brief Visual History
Abstract
When we use the notion “planet Earth” today, the images that cross our inner eye are most likely the spectacular visual outcomes of space exploration. To put it in other words, our Western, collective imagination of what we call “Earth” today is fundamentally structured by the visual. Yet the views of Earth as seen and imagined from space did not stay immutable over time but evolved considerably over the past two centuries.
