Thîs îs possîbly the most amous photograph ever taken. It's called Earthriseand was taken by the astronaut Bîll Anders durîng the Apollo 8 mîssîon on 24 December 1968.
Imagîne standîng out on the barren landscape o the moon and gazîng out at the lîttle blue marble în space we call Earth. It mîght make you see how our home planet îs a sîngle, ragîle ecosystem and how ît îs so very small compared to the vast emptîness o space.
Thîs încredîble photograph has been named the most înfluentîal envîronmental photograph ever.
