Here are six stunning images of the earth captured by NASA

1. Captured in 2010, this picture depicts the earth and moon from a distance, equal to the view from mercury. 

2. Captured by NASA's Television InfraRed Observational Satellite (TIROS-1) in 1960, this was the first 'television' picture of the earth taken from space. 

3. During a live broadcast from lunar orbit by a crew of Apollo 8 in 1968, the photo of the earth as visible from moon emerged. 

4. This iconic view of the earth, now known as the 'Blue Marble', was captured in 1972. 

5. Captured in 2015, the picture depicts the earth as visible from the moon's surface. 

6. The 'rarely seen' dark side is visible as the moon moved in front of the sunlit side of the earth.
