"But despite the vast distance that made the photograph possible, we had not lost our connection with the natural world, we had rediscovered it. We saw, for the first time, our one home together in the cosmos." - Sir David Attenborough

On December 24, 1968, Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders took the now iconic "Earthrise" photograph from lunar orbit.
