Haven't any of the space probes taken such pictures as they left to wander through the solar system?

  Yes, if I recall correctly there was a Japanese high-res satellite sent to the moon which took images of earth on the way and then took "high def" images of the moon. That was 2007. So "high def" is like 1080i lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELENE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELENE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELENE#/media/File:Earth_at_11000_km.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELENE#/media/File:Earth_at_11...
