One could argue that we, as humans, are from and of Earth, and that by humans taking a photo of Earth, Earth is in fact taking a selfie. It's a narrower take on the concept of, "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

Self portraits in fine art have the same character -- they capture the expression of someone looking intently at their own reflection.
