It’s not exclusively long shots — most are features of Earth from Earth orbit — but all the handful of whole-Earth images from more distant probes that I recall, seem to be among these many hundreds at the NASA Planetary Photojournal: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Earth

Messenger, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Mariner 10 are represented. I think I saw the (poor) MER Rovers’ efforts.

Is there a place where we can see pictures of Earth taken by deep space probes such as Voager, Cassini and the Mars Rovers?

It would be an interesting bench mark image for the likes of Setti.

Jessica, I went to graduate school at UVa, and made a couple of trips to Greenbank for class. I have never seen the new 100 meter, though I have an invite to drop by when I’m in that area. I’d really like to see it!

You mentioned us! Someone finally mentioned the NRAO at Greenbanks! Finally, someone mentions my state…

Excellent pictures, all of them. Thank you!

Lunar BBQ spare ribs and green cheese. Nice.
