"We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth" –Bill Anders, Apollo 8 astronaut

"Earthrise," one of the most powerful photos in @nasa’s history, was taken by Anders #OTD in 1968 as the Apollo 8 crew orbited the Moon.

@nasa Picture here still rotated wrong by 90° clockwise. Modern tools can rotate the video/picture before posting.

@ShrikeTron @nasa As the crew learned early in the flight while trying to describe the relative position of the S-IVB, there is no up, down, left or right in space!

@nasa Gotta admit, I still get choked up every time I see "Earthrise." Kind of a "there's no place like home" vibe ... with the realization that it is humankind's ONLY home right now, and how precious it is.
