"Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you—all of you on the good Earth" Astronauts orbited the Moon for the first time in history on Christmas Eve, 1968. On their fourth orbit, they captured the sight of the Earth rising over the Moon's horizon, a photo dubbed "Earthrise."
The Earthrise photo taken by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders on December 24, 1968, shows the Moon's surface in the foreground with the Earth appearing above the horizon in the distance in the blackness of space. About 2/3 of the Earth is lit from by the Sun and you can see the ocean, clouds, and a continent on the lit portion.
