Earthrise

The Apollo 8 mission led astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders to become the first humans to see the far side of the Moon and witness the first rise of the Earth above the horizon of our satellite. The iconic photograph, known as Earthrise, makes us shrink before the immensity of the Cosmos.
