description

Summary

Original caption: This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon — the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft–was recorded 09/18/77, by NASA’s Voyager 1 when it was 11.66 million kilometers (7.25 million miles) from Earth. The Moon is at the top of the picture and beyond the Earth as viewed by Voyager. In the picture are Eastern Asia, the Western Pacific Ocean and part of the Arctic. The photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed by the Image Processing Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
