Earthrise, Then and Now

Uploaded by Revkin on Dec 24, 2008
Forty years ago, on Dec. 24, 1968, astronauts on Apollo 8, having made the first human passage around the moon, were stunned to notice an "Earth Rise." In 2007, an HD camera aboard Japan's Kaguya satellite videotaped earth 'rising' and 'setting.' Set to music by Peter Rundquist, the images bring home the lonely, extraordinary nature of this "pale blue dot."

After consulting with my friend Andy Chaikin (http://www.andrewchaikin.com), the definitive Apollo historian, I found out that confusion over who exclaimed about the Earth view has been cleared up. It was Bill Anders, not Frank Borman. Andy says he'd stake his (significant) reputation on this. The official NASA transcript still says "Anders or Borman"....

@3KOBAIN The moon has to spin, for the same side to face Earth all the time. The moon makes one complete revolution around Earth every 27.3 days and rotates on it's axis once every 27.3 days
