PHOTO OF LASTING INTEREST

Earthrise

Planet Earth rises above the moon’s surface in this breathtaking photo, taken by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders on Christmas Eve in 1968. Former Vice President Al Gore, chair of the Climate Reality Project, notes, “Earthrise showed for the first time the delicate balance between our planet’s beauty and the dark void in which it resides. This photo had a profound effect on our global consciousness and, in turn, gave birth to the modern environmental movement.” Photograph by William Anders/NASA
