"The Earth from here is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space"

It happened a few minutes after 10:30 am Houston time on December 24, 1968. Exactly 52 years ago today, Apollo 8 @NASAastronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the very first humans to orbit the Moon and to witness the Earth rising above the moon's barren surface.

This iconic snapshot known as “Earthrise” was taken aboard Apollo 8 by lunar module pilot Bill Anders, shows Earth peeking out from beyond the lunar surface; a unique and never-before-captured gift of perspective. Earthrise continues to serve as a way to educate and inspire every single one of us here on the glistening marble, mottled with blue-white swirls.
