In 1968, Apollo 8 became the first manned mission that successfully orbited the moon. On December 24, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders came around the far side of the moon in their spacecraft and saw a beautiful sight – their home planet, a blue and white sphere, was rising over the moon’s surface.
Anders quickly took a photograph in black and white while Lovell hurried to find color film to capture the full effect. Luckily for all of us, he succeeded, and this striking image is the result.
