, one of the most iconic space photos ever made.
NASA’s Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor, Dr. Katherine Calvin, recently sat down with Bill Anders, who is now 89 years old, to discuss his historic color Earthrise photo.“When you were in space, you had this opportunity to see the planet as a whole, this beautiful blue planet. What was that like?” asks Dr. Calvin.
“We were in lunar orbit, upside down and going backward. For the first several revolutions, we didn’t see the Earth and didn’t really think about that. Then we righted ourselves, heads up, and twisted the spacecraft so it was going forward. While Frank Borman was in the process of doing that, suddenly I saw out of the corner of my eye this color — it was shocking,” Anders explains about capturing the Earthrise photos.
