YYogaMovie ~ Earth Rise on Moon Dec. 24, 1968

This is the moment in time when we became self aware of our Earth as heavenly body.

The photograph of this animation was taken during the Apollo 8 mission in December 1968, seven months before the first lunar landing.

Apollo 8 was the mission which put humans into lunar orbit for the very first time. Until then, no human eyes had seen the far side of the Moon - (all previous images of the far side of the moon had come from robot spacecraft).

Virtually all of the photographs scheduled for the Apollo 8 mission were to do with capturing high resolution images of the lunar surface - both of the far side and of potential landing sites on the near side.

The 'Earthrise' photograph was not on the mission schedule and was taken in a moment of pure serendipity.

US Nature photographer Galen Rowell has described this image as "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken".

It is an image which still speaks to us today.

Yoga has as look inside, but i often meditate on the moment within my practice, Setting the intention to understand our Mother Earths beautiful fragile and delicate balance as we move through time and space..

I have always presented this as an animation to a moment in time. Sorry you didn't enjoy what this might have looked like if you had been there Dec 1968.
