William Anders captured the breathtaking photo of Earthrise during NASA's Apollo 8 mission, marking the first time a human hand photographed Earth from space. This historic mission was also the first manned journey around the moon, as the astronauts scouted for future landing sites. However, the true authorship of the iconic Earthrise photo was hotly contested for years, with all three astronauts claiming credit. It took a detailed investigation to finally determine who truly took the image.

Join us as we explore the fascinating story behind this iconic photograph, the Apollo 8 mission, and the mystery that surrounded the photo's authorship for decades.

#FromLunarOrbit "And from the crew of Apollo 8,

We close with good night,

Good luck, a #merryChristmas,

And God bless all of you—

All of you on the good Earth."

Apollo8 (December 21–27, 1968) was the first crewed spacecraft to leave Earth's gravitational sphere of influence, and the first human spaceflight to reach the Moon. The crew orbited the Moon ten times without landing and then returned to Earth.[1][2][3] These three astronauts—Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders—were the first humans to see and photograph the far side of the Moon and an Earthrise.

Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the Moon

The Apollo 8 mission was a historic moment in space exploration. Launched on December 21, 1968, it was the first mission to send humans beyond low Earth orbit and into the depths of space. The three-man crew, consisting of Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders, became the first humans to ever see the dark side of the moon.

The mission was a major turning point in the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the years leading up to Apollo 8, the Soviets had taken the lead in the race to the moon, launching the first successful satellite (Sputnik) and the first human into space (Yuri Gagarin). But with the successful completion of the Apollo 8 mission, the United States regained the upper hand, setting the stage for the eventual moon landing by Apollo 11 just six months later.

The Apollo 8 mission was not without its challenges and dangers. The spacecraft, called the Saturn V, was the largest and most powerful rocket ever built at the time. It was so powerful, in fact, that it could have easily blown up on the launch pad.

Once in space, the crew of Apollo 8 faced a number of challenges, including the danger of being hit by space debris, the difficulty of navigating in deep space, and the extreme cold and isolation of being so far from Earth. But they persevered, and on December 24, they became the first humans to orbit the moon.

During their time in lunar orbit, the crew of Apollo 8 conducted a number of scientific experiments and they read from the book of Genesis during a Christmas Eve television broadcast to the people of Earth. After completing ten orbits of the moon, the crew of Apollo 8 returned safely to Earth on December 27, 1968, but not before taking this famous “Earthrise” photo, which shows the Earth rising over the moon’s horizon and is now in the holdings of the National Archives.

"I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let's say 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied."

As the spacecraft was in the process of rotating, Anders took this iconic picture showing Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon. In 2018, the International Astronomical Union commemorated the event by naming a 25 mile diameter crater "Anders' Earthrise." https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/apollo-8-astronaut-bill-anders-captures-earthrise https://www.instagram.com/p/CmktryAJGc-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Leon for the name asks!

Leon -

Palms stained the color of blood. Tousled hair in your eyes. Determination. Stacks of dog eared books, empty jars. The gasping breaths after you ran. The color yellow. Clasping hands with someone and pulling them into a hug. Scribbled notes in the margins. Lion’s mane.
