View from Apollo 8 / Photo via NASA, December 1968


The Earth comes into view as never seen before


GreenPolicy360:

We remember, those of us who were there, watching the Apollo missions in 1968 and 1969, how our views of who we were as citizens changed. We saw, for the first time, our Earth rising in space as astronauts captured amazing photographs.


The 'Earthrise' image, as seen from Apollo 8, was a magic moment, seeing our planet as it had never been seen before, an ascendent Earth vision -- and a beginning of a modern Environmental Movement.

Earthrise: Apollo 8's point of view of Earth on December 24, 1968

December 21, 1968 ... Apollo 8 launches from the Kennedy Space Center, the first humans on the way to the Moon --- and a vision looking back at home that empowered the modern environmental movement.

Apollo's mission? To explore the Moon in preparation for a Moon landing. A surprise comes into view as the spaceship circles the Moon. A window view, Whole Earth awareness of ourselves as #PlanetCitizens. "Earthrise" ... a profound image, first by human hands taken of our home planet. We see our #PlanetEarth with new born eyes ...

Aboard Apollo, December 24, 1968, as the spaceship swings around the Moon, unexpectedly the Earth 'rises', surprisingly coming into view through a window --


Astronaut Bill Anders is the first to see our home planet Earth...


"Oh, my God, look at that picture over there," he can be heard saying. "There's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!"


What happened next will sound familiar to anyone who remembers the days before digital cameras:


Anders (to astronaut Jim Lovell): "You got a color film, Jim? Hand me a roll of color, quick, would you?"

Lovell: "Oh, man, that's great! Where is it?"

Anders: "Hurry. Quick."

Lovell: "Down here?"

Anders: "Just grab me a color. A color exterior. Hurry up. Got one?"

Lovell: "Yeah, I'm lookin' for one. C368."

Anders: "Anything quick."


Lovell hands him the film just as Anders is heard saying, "I think we missed it."


But within seconds, Lovell sees the shot again in another window of the command module. He asks for the camera from Anders, who seems a bit defensive at having his role as mission photographer usurped.


Anders: "Wait a minute, just let me get the right setting here now, just calm down. Calm down, Lovell!"


Anders then gets the shot that has been reproduced innumerable times all over the world...


'Earthrise' changed forever humanity's vision of ourselves,


We were becoming Planet Citizens
