In honor of Bill Anders, who took the first photo of the earth from space, Emergence Magazine is sharing their film made by the astronauts on that early trip to the moon. Bill Anders died recently at age 90.

I'm sorry, but blogger is doing that double speak now when I make a link. But press the one that's colored and go to the film
The short film...
Earthrise tells the story of the first image captured of the Earth from space in 1968. Told solely by the Apollo 8 astronauts, the film recounts their experiences and memories and explores the beauty, awe, and grandeur of the Earth against the blackness of space. This iconic image had a powerful impact on the astronauts and the world, offering a perspective that transcended national, political, and religious boundaries. Told 50 years later, Earthrise compels us to remember this shift and to reflect on the Earth as a shared home.
It is an awe inspiring photo. Bill Anders lived and died not very far away from me, doing what he loved most.
ReplyDeleteA blue marble... thank you, this was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI would never brave up to that - going on a plane is the "largest" I can do...
Barbara, One of the greatest photos of all time! The astronauts had and have more nerve than i ever dreamt of... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
