[Apollo 8] FIRST HUMAN VIEW OF THE MOON'S CURVATURE OVER THE FARSIDE AFTER TRANS-EARTH INJECTION William Anders [Apollo 8], 21-27 December 1968 Printed 1968. Vintage gelatin silver print on fibre-based paper [NASA image AS8-12-2209]. Numbered 'AS8-12-2209' in black in the lower margin, with NASA caption numbered 'AS8-12-2209' on the reverse (issued by NASA Space Science Data Centre, NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre, Greenbelt, Maryland). 20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.) Historical context This unprecedented photograph presents a high-altitude oblique view of the lunar far side looking north-eastward toward the eastern limb, captured with the 250mm telephoto lens after trans-Earth injection (TEI), revealing a perspective never before witnessed by human eyes. During their 20 hours in lunar orbit, the crew had photographed the Moon's desolate surface from approximately 60 nautical miles. However, because they had arrived with the Moon in darkness, it was only at the beginning of their return journey that they were able to fully appreciate the breathtaking curvature of the lunar sphere. Footnotes: The 175-km Crater Joliot-Curie (27°N 94°E) is partially shown at left centre. The bright rayed 20-km Crater Giordano Bruno is near the horizon (36°N 103°E), located just beyond the north-eastern limb of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Long narrow rays had been reported in the polar region of the Earth-facing hemisphere of the Moon. Giordano Bruno is the source of these rays. The dark-bottomed 92-km Crater Lomonosov lies between Giordano Bruno and Joliot-Curie.
