Item Details
Description
William AndersReceding Moon seen through the Command Module's window after the trans-earth injectionApollo 8, 21-27 December 1968Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based paper, 25.2 x 20.5 cm (10 x 8 in), [NASA photo no AS8-14-2474], with A KODAK PAPER watermark on the verso (NASA/North American Rockwell)Footnotes:This photograph was taken by Anders on the way back to Earth, after 20 hours circling the desolate world. Apollo 8's SPS engine was ignited for trans-Earth insertion (TEI) to accelerate out of lunar orbit. An engine failure would have stranded the men in lunar orbit with no hope of rescue but the crew was instead offered a fantastic view of the Moon, in an orientation that is not seen by terrestrial observers.
