I wonder how hard it'll be to capture some of these images yourself. NOAA decommissioned it's last LRPT/APT capable satillites. Russia has a couple open access 137MHz sats available Meteor M2-3 and M2-4 I believe they have become flakey with age, damage and other issues. Those you could stand in your garden with a simple vdipole antenna and a cheap SDR to capture images.

Why do most (almost all) images of Earth have Africa in front? Are they stock photos? Is it because only the Sahara Desert is frequently visible?

Pictures of earth from space will never lose their luster for me. I wish money spent on missiles and bombs could be redirected for rockets to launch satellites for scientific purposes.
