The Blue Marble I think the picture is all we need here. I cut the text “This spectacular “blue marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date.” http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_rec.php?id=2429

Antarctica Again, I think the picture is all that is needed. I cut the text. “This image of Antarctica was taken by Galileo several hours after on December 8, 1990. This is the first picture of the whole Antarctic continent taken nearly at once from space.” http://www.solarviews.com/eng/earth.htm

In Greek mythology, she created the Universe and gave birth to both the first race of gods (the Titans) and the first humans. http://www.solcomhouse.com/earth.html http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/statistics.html Note: Earth is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name derives from Old English and Germanic.

The Moon This full disc of the Moon was photographed by the Apollo 17 crew. The Moon is on average 238,857 miles from the Earth. Its diameter is 2,160 miles. Both the rotation of the Moon and its revolution around Earth takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. http://www.solarviews.com/cap/moon/moon1.htm

Earth as seen from the Moon This view of the Earth rising over the Moon's horizon was taken from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The lunar terrain pictured is in the area of Smyth's Sea on the nearside. http://www.solarviews.com/eng/moon.htm
