"NASA's Iconic Images and Stunning Space Videos"
Bill Anders, a member of the Apollo 8 crew, captured the iconic Earthrise photo on Christmas Eve, 1968, while orbiting the moon. In a recent interview with NASA’s Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor, Dr. Katherine Calvin, Anders reflected on the photo's impact and how it helped people realize the fragility of Earth. Anders received minimal photography training before the mission and captured the photo without a light meter. The Earthrise image has profoundly impacted how people view Earth, and NASA continues to perform extensive studies and science dedicated to Earth to help humanity learn more about the planet and how to take better care of it.
