About Earthrise and Apollo 8

Earthrise was photographed in lunar orbit on December 24, 1968, during NASA's Apollo 8 mission. Astronaut William Anders, flying with Frank Borman and Jim Lovell, captured the moment when Earth appeared above the Moon's horizon as the spacecraft came around the far side. The color image of our planet suspended over the gray lunar surface quickly became one of the most influential photographs in history.

The Earthrise photograph has been described as a turning point in how people see our world, highlighting Earth's beauty, isolation, and fragility in the vastness of space. This poster turns that historic view into a piece of design forward wall art that celebrates exploration, science, and our shared home.
