The story of the first photograph of Earth taken from space in 1968 is told solely by the Apollo 8 astronauts. They recall their memories and the wonder of seeing Earth rise above the lunar horizon. Set against the blackness of space, the image revealed Earth’s fragility and unity. It sparked a shift in global awareness, transcending national, political, and religious boundaries. Fifty years later, this moment urges us to reflect on our planet as a shared and precious home, seen from a perspective beyond all borders.
