View of rising Earth about
five degrees above the Lunar horizon, taken on December 22,
1968 - - This is one of the more famous images of the Earth
from the Apollo program, taken by the Apollo 8 astronauts as
they became the first humans to circumnavigate the Moon.
The rising Earth is about five
degrees above the lunar horizon in this telephoto view taken
from the Apollo 8 spacecraft near 110 degrees east
longitude. The horizon, about 570 kilometers (250 statute
miles) from the spacecraft, is near the eastern limb of the
Moon as viewed from the Earth.
On the earth, the sunset
terminator crosses Africa. The south pole is in the white
area near the left end of the terminator. North and South
America are under the clouds. The lunar surface probably has
less pronounced colour than indicated by this print. Photo:
