The video below shows how precious our Blue Boat Home appears when seen from the moon. It is a NASA simulation of what the Apollo 8 crew saw as the Earth rose above the lunar horizon during their fourth orbit around the Moon. The video pauses to overlay two photographs taken by the crew and includes a clock overlay. The Earthrise picture the video contains has been called "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken." (Click the "Play" button in the middle of the video to watch the earth rise and the icon in the bottom right for a full-screen view).
