The source is a picture taken by the Apollo 8 astronauts on their way to the Moon in 1968. Apollo 8 was the first manned space craft to ever leave Earth orbit and that image was the first taken by people that showed the whole Earth. Other pictures taken earlier by astronauts in low Earth orbit look like they were taken from a very high flying airplane and do not show the whole Earth.
