40 years ago today US Astronaut William Anders took this photograph during historic Apollo 8 mission,the first manned voyage to moon. This photo was given the name "Earthrise".The photograph was taken from lunar orbit with a Hasselblad camera. Initially, before finding a suitable 70mm color film, Anders took a black and white photo of the scene, with the earth still being far closer to the horizon.As I look at the small planet we call home, I am reminded of the incredible love that the Creator of the entire universe has for us.
May you have a wonderful Christmas.
