Apollo 8 "Earthrise" Color Photo on Kodak paper 50 x 41 cm (52 x 42 cm with border) Signed in black felt tip: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth... Frank Borman Apollo 8 Commander Dec1968.“ Provenance: German private collection No one told them to look for the Earth. It was Christmas Eve 1968 and the first manned mission to the moon had reached its destination. As Apollo 8 slipped into lunar orbit the crew prepared to read passages of Genesis for a TV broadcast to the world. But as the command module came around on its fourth lap, there it was visible through the window – a bright blue and white bauble suspended in the black above the relentless grey of the moon. What he captured became one of the most influential images in history. A driving force of the environmental movement, the picture, which became known as Earthrise, showed the world as a singular, fragile, oasis. EARTHRISE Apollo 8 "Erdaufgang" Farbfoto auf Kodak Signiert mit schwarzem Filzstift: "Am Anfang schuf Gott den Himmel und die Erde... Frank Borman Apollo 8 Commander Dec1968". 53,5 x 41 cm (54,5 x 42 cm mit Rand) Niemand hatte ihnen gesagt, dass Sie nach der Erde sehen sollten. Es war Heiligabend 1968 und die erste bemannte Mission zum Mond hatte ihr Ziel erreicht. Als Apollo 8 in die Mondumlaufbahn einschwebte, bereitete sich die Besatzung darauf vor, Passagen aus der Genesis für eine Fernsehübertragung in die Welt zu lesen. Doch als das Kommandomodul seine vierte Runde drehte, war es durch das Fenster zu sehen - eine leuchtend blaue und wei?e Kugel, die im Schwarz über dem unerbittlichen Grau des Mondes schwebte. Was Frank Borman festhielt, wurde zu einem der einflussreichsten Bilder der Geschichte. Das Bild, das als "Earthrise" bekannt wurde, war eine treibende Kraft in der Umweltbewegung und zeigte die Welt als eine einzigartige, zerbrechliche Oase.notes:*
