In 1972, we marveled at the beauty of our planet in a photo taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on its way to the moon. Dubbed the "Blue Marble," the iconic image depicted a blue-and-white globe floating in the blackness of space. On Thursday, we were treated to a different view of Island Earth, one with the undeniable stamp of humanity on it. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration unveiled what's being called the "Black Marble" -- high-resolution photos taken of the dark side of the earth.
