The first photo taken of Earth taken by humans from space
This is "Earthrise", a photo that changed our perception of the world…#TBT
In 1968…
Here is the first photo of Earth taken by humans from space. It was taken on December 24, 1968, by three American astronauts and is considered a key moment in global ecological awareness.
This photo was taken during the Apollo 8 mission but fell into obscurity because of the Apollo 11 mission led by Neil Armstrong, which took place six months later. However, Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders, were the first men to leave the Earth’s orbit, to discover the dark side of the Moon and, above all, to witness an Earth rise.
In 2003, the photo “Earthrise” was named by Life magazine one of the “100 Photographs that Changed the World.”

04/23/2020 12:26Why we should all follow our own drummer. I remember seeing this photo in the news media in real time in 1968 when the astronauts sent it back to earth. Thought it was so awesome. Wanted to see it again. It was gone, and never saw 'Earthrise' again for a very long time, and I had expressed my regret to others..'It was a beautiful picture, and why is it not published anywhere? Why?' Thought that was very strange. (No, we didn't have Google then!) Now it's one of the 100 most photographs that changed the world. Amazing.
