[quote:Anonymous Coward 78423040:MV80OTYzNTI2XzkwNzczNzU2X0EzNDZFMTAy] holy crap we're all wrong! apollo 8, christmas eve 1968 William Anders took a shot with a hasselblad 500 loaded with 70mm ektrachrome. through the window in lunar orbit Earthrise is the title of the pic. all in one frame, pre digital photography. not that old pics cant be altered, they can, but it takes a big rig and photoshop is way better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise#/media/File:NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg is a wiki link that claims to be a historic version of the photo that we want [/quote]
