Wonderful Apollo images

[Stu]

Came across a link to this on Facebook. I believe these are recently released images but regardless, quite amazing and the first time I've seen them.

I particularly liked this one, which I assume is the first image taken of the earth rise from Apollo 8, before they grabbed a colour camera. Iconic image, Apollo 8 is one of my favourites.

"Earthrise" just such an iconic scene, one that only a select few have seen. Thanks for sharing, I never tire of seeing it!

What a great link - thanks for posting it Stu

I love reading about the space programme and seeing photos that were hitherto unreleased. Growing up with this phase of human space exploration sort of shaped me to some extent I reckon. It certainly ignited my interest in astronomy !

Stunning, and downright scary seeing the Earth so far away.  It gives a renewed respect for the guys in the Apollo who must have felt very lonely!.

Many thanks fpr posting.
