A Earth Taken From The Apollo 10 Spacecraft. 2 Inch Round Button

May 18, 1969 - A view of Earth from 36,000 nautical miles away as photographed from the Apollo 10 spacecraft during its trans-lunar journey toward the moon. While the Yucatan Peninsula is obscured by clouds, nearly all of Mexico north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec can be clearly delineated. The Gulf of California and Baja California and the San Joaquin Valley can be easily identified. Also, the delta of the Rio Grande River and the Texas coast are visible. Note the colour differences (greens - east, browns - west) along the 100 degrees meridian.
