Earth seen from 36,000 nautical miles away from the Apollo 10 spacecraft during its trans-lunar journey toward the moon. While the Yucat‡n Peninsula is obscured by cloud, 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 color differences (greens - east, browns - west) along the 100 degrees meridian. May 18, 1969. An optimised NASA image: Credit: NASA
