One of the greatest pictures of the 20th century.
The fact that some people genuinely believe this isn’t real. It was good while it lasted.
Not trying to do an ‚um actually‘ here but rather share a cool fact, the *first* Earthrise photo was actually taken two years prior in 1966 by [lunar orbiter 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Orbiter_1), the first of several robotic orbiters that were used to select landing site for Apollo.
His death is so crazy. They let him fly a single engine plane at 92
My favorite fact about this photo is that it wasn’t at all planned, they had to grab the camera quickly.in order to capture it.
Also the true orientation is 90 degrees counterclockwise from this angle!
