Description
Ελληνικά: Η Γη όπως φαίνεται από την επιφάνεια του πλανήτη Άρη, λίγο πριν το χάραμα. Η φωτογραφία έχει τραβηχτεί από το ρόβερ Spirit και είναι η πρώτη φωτογραφία της Γης από την επιφάνεια ενός άλλου πλανήτη.
English: Earth as seen from Mars, shortly before daybreak. This is the first image of the Earth from the surface of another planet.

Original Caption

This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon. It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd martian day, or sol, of its mission. The image is a mosaic of images taken by the rover's navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover's panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see.

The inset shows a combination of four panoramic camera images zoomed in on Earth. The arrow points to Earth. Earth was too faint to be detected in images taken with the panoramic camera's color filters.
