William Anders (Apollo 8)
The first human-taken photograph of the whole Moon from a perspective not visible from Earth, 21-27 December 1968
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1968, (NASA AS8-14-2506), with"A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, (NASA/North American Rockwell), 25,4 x 20,3 cm
Soon after the first trans Earth injection performed by a manned spacecraft, the Apollo 8 astronauts became the first humans to witness this extraordinary view of the whole Moon in an orientation that is not seen by terrestrial observers, from above its eastern limb.
William Anders took this historic photograph with the 250mm telephoto lens.
Familiar frontside features such as the Sea of Tranquility, Fertility, Crises, and Nectar are easily identified. Features near the east limb as viewed from Earth, such as the Southern Sea, Smyth’s Sea, Border Sea, and the Crater Humboldt, can be viewed without extreme foreshortening. Lunar farside features occupy most of the left half of the picture.
“I think the Moon resembled what the Earth must’ve looked like before there was life. Or what it could look like after an all-out nuclear war.”
Frank Borman (Chaikin, Voices, p. 45)
