"Earthrise", first visions of "Whole Earth"


The beginnings of the modern environmental movement

Apollo 8, launched on Dec 21, 1968. History was made. Life on Earth changed. Environmental awareness changed forever.

Apollo 8 was the first human mission to deep space, deep enough to see the Whole Earth and share images of what they saw. The images were taken "serendipity", they were not planned as part of the mission. It was a magic, monumental event -- and the images forever changed humanity's perspective.

18 months after Apollo 8's "Earthrise" photo was first seen on Earth, the first environmental 'teach-in' arose with a whole earth message, a new perspective, new ways of seeing, a new identification with the home planet began to be visualized in an environmental movement.

... the sight moved the poet Archibald MacLeish to write on Christmas Day of that momentous perspective-changing year:

“To see the Earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the Earth together...”


After the mission, NASA released the color pictures the astronauts had taken of “Earthrise”, celebrated on the cover of Life Magazine in January 1969.

In a 2008 book, “Earthrise” Robert Poole writes of a "spiritual nascence" of the environmental movement... “It is possible to see that Earthrise marked the tipping point, the moment when the sense of the space age flipped from what it meant for space to what it means for Earth.”


Galen Rowell described the Earthrise image as "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken".
