December 24, 1968, Hasselbald 70mm. 250mm F/5.6 lens by Bill Anders, NASA ref: AS08_14_2383. Earthrise - arguably one of the most famous photographs ever taken. Anders: "Hand me that color roll, quick!" - Moments after the black-and-white shot AS08-13-2329, Lovell finds a color feeder for Anders, who is able to take his shot through the space rendezvous window. Earthrise was not observed during the first three orbits because of the orientation of the windows. Only a rotation of the spacecraft, performed by Borman, allowed to see it this time; this shot was a real teamwork. © NASA_JSC_ASU_Andy Saunders
