If you think you've seen a new photograph of the full Earth taken by NASA in the last few decades, you've been tricked. It hasn't taken a full earth snapshot in 43 years—until now. Today (July 20) NASA released an image from the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), marking the first full-disk Earth image released by the space agency since the Apollo era.

I found the side (embedded?) story The Blue Marble Shot (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/04/the-blue-marble-shot-our-first-complete-photograph-of-earth/237167/) (about who took it) quite interesting (if not a bit sad) as well.
