[Apollo 8] First Earthrise: the extremely rare unpublished second color photograph of the first Earthrise witnessed by humans. William Anders, 21–27 December 1968. Printed 1968. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS8–14-2384]. 23.3×18.3cm, with "A Kodak Paper“ watermarks on the verso (NASA Kennedy Space center, Florida). The Apollo 8 astronauts saw their first Earthrise during the fourth revolution of the spacecraft around the Moon. William Anders took three photographs with the 250mm telephoto lens during the event. The first was black and white, followed by two color photographs. While one of the color Earthrise photographs [NASA AS8–13-2383] was published by NASA and extensively used by picture editors around the world, this equally startling color photograph [NASA AS8–13-2384] of the first Earthrise witnessed by human beings is very rare. “When I looked up and saw the Earth coming up on this very stark, beat-up lunar horizon, an Earth that was the only color that we could see, a very fragile-looking Earth, a very delicate looking Earth, I was immediately almost overcome by the thought that here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we’re seeing is our own Home Planet, the Earth.” William Anders (Poole, p. 2). From the mission transcript (photograph taken T+075:49:09 after launch): 075:48:42 Borman: Well, take several of them. 075:48:43 Lovell: Take several of them! Here, give it to me. 075:48:44 Anders: Wait a minute, let’s get the right setting, here now; just calm down. Calm down, Lovell. 075:48:49 Lovell: Well, I got it ri - Oh, that’s a beautiful shot. 075:48:54 Lovell: 250 at f/11. 075:49:07 Anders: Okay. 075:49:08 Lovell: Now vary the - vary the exposure a little bit. 075:49:09 Anders: I did. I took two of them. 075:49:11 Lovell: You sure we got it now? 075:49:12 Anders: Yes, we’ll get - we’ll - It’ll come up again, I think. Condition Slight wear to corners, small abrasions and traces of fiber paper adherence to glossy surface, otherwise very good condition.
