Pale blue dot

Shouldn't this article include the shot of earth from saturn, also possibly a mention of the pale blue dot photo? 50.80.153.173 (talk) 03:11, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find reliable sources that use the word "space selfies" on those photos so perhaps putting in the "see also" section is the right way to do to list the topics that are close enough. Z22 (talk) 06:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Buzz Aldrin Gemini Selfie

I'm surprised this article doesn't include what was probably the first Space Selfie, shot by Buzz Aldrin in 1966, during a Gemini EVA:

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:ISS-32 American EVA b3 Aki Hoshide.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 12, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-09-12.

Picture of the day

A space selfie is a selfie that is taken in space; the term has been used to describe self-portraits by astronauts and machines such as rovers. This selfie was taken by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Akihiko Hoshide during a space walk at the International Space Station on 5 September 2012 and went viral after Commander Chris Hadfield posted it to his Twitter feed on 30 September 2013.Photograph: Akihiko Hoshide
