    Orla,

    https://pdst.ie/sites/default/files/Activities%20for%20first%20and%20second%20classes-planet%20earth%20in%20space.pdf 

    appears to be the source, but unfortunately is incomplete. It has “Show children actual images of the earth, the moon and the sun from space. [see suggested web-sites below] ”

    I would suggest for images of the Earth from Space to use one of the most famous of all Earth in Space images, Earthrise.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise

    use met.ie for current images:

    Helioviewer (https://student.helioviewer.org/) is a powerful platform to show a range of satellite images of the Sun, a guide on its use appears in https://www.spaceweek.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/MagneticSunandSpaceWeather.pdf
