Anders (William) The first Earthrise seen by Man, Apollo 8, December 1968, vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based paper watermarked "A Kodak Paper", 182 x 240 mm. (7¼ x 9½ in.), numbered NASA AS8-14-2383 in red in the top margin ⁂ NASA had made no provision for an Earthrise photograph in the flight plan but Anders captured, largely by chance, what is now one of the most inspiring images of the 20th century. "As we came round the back side of the moon, where I had been taking pictures of craters near our orbital track, I looked up and saw the startlingly beautiful sight of our home planet "rising" up above the stark and battered lunar horizon. It was the only color against the deep blackness of space. In short, it was beautiful, and clearly delicate." William Anders
