Earth Is Blue

When astronauts first launched toward the moon and looked back at our planet for the first time, they made an unexpected discovery: Earth Is Blue. NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries will be sharing a photo each day and a video each week highlighting the wonder and beauty of these special places and the work we do to protect them.
