EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment in history - the iconic "Earthrise" as seen from above the surface of the moon. Taken by astronauts aboard the Apollo 8 spacecraft during its lunar orbit in 1968, this image showcases our beautiful planet Earth rising above the desolate lunar landscape. From a distance of approximately 384,000 km away, we witness Earth's delicate beauty against the starkness of space. The sunset terminator gracefully bisects Africa, casting an ethereal glow upon our continent. As we gaze at this awe-inspiring sight, it is humbling to realize that everything we hold dear exists within this fragile blue sphere. The foreground of this photograph reveals unnamed surface features near the eastern limb of the Moon when viewed from Earth. These enigmatic formations serve as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge about our celestial neighbor. Science Photo Library has expertly captured and preserved this extraordinary moment for us to marvel at and reflect upon. This image not only represents a pivotal milestone in space exploration but also serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness on Earth. As we contemplate this remarkable photograph, let us cherish and protect our precious planet - for it is here that all life thrives amidst an infinite universe waiting to be explored.
