Look at that picture over there! Here&#8217;s the Earth coming up. Wow is that pretty!&#8221; Soon after that pronouncement, 50 years ago today, one of the most famous images ever taken was snapped from the orbit of the Moon. Now known as &#8220;Earthrise&#8221;, the iconic image shows the Earth rising above the limb of the Moon, as taken by the crew of Apollo 8. But the well-known Earthrise image was actually the second image taken of the Earth rising above the lunar limb &#8212; it was just the first in color. With modern digital technology, however, the real first Earthrise image &#8212; originally in black and white &#8212; has now been remastered to have the combined resolution and color of the first three images. Behold! The featured image is a close-up of the picture that Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders was talking about. Thanks to modern technology and human ingenuity, now we can all see it. (Historical note: A different historic black &#038; white image of the Earth setting behind the lunar limb was taken by the robotic Lunar Orbiter 1 two years earlier.) via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap220227.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Oh my God!
