Apollo 8 enters lunar orbit and photographs Earthrise

node

The crew became the first humans to orbit another world, completing ten orbits, broadcasting live on Christmas Eve, and photographing the Earth rising above the lunar limb — an image widely credited with reframing how the planet was seen.
