"Look at that picture over there! Here’s the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!" — William Anders, who took this famous Earthrise photo
On Christmas Eve in 1968—a tumultuous year—three NASA astronauts in orbit around the Moon addressed the nation on a live TV broadcast. Anders, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell and read from the Bible’s book of Genesis, ending with “God bless all of you, all of you on the Good Earth.”
Apollo 8 was the first mission to take humans to the Moon and back.
The Hasselblad 70mm camera used to take the Earthrise photo is currently on view in our @airandspacemuseum’s new exhibition “One World Connected.”
