INTRODUCTION
The Apollo missions from 1968 to 1972 were a defining moment in human history, as they marked the first time that humans had journeyed to another celestial body. During these missions, the astronauts captured a number of stunning photographs of the Earth as seen from space, including several famous Earthrises. These images not only provided new perspectives on our planet, but also played a role in inspiring environmental and scientific awareness.
One of the most famous Earthrise images was captured during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. This photograph showed the Earth as a blue and white orb, rising above the barren lunar landscape. The image was widely reproduced and became an iconic symbol of the space age. It not only inspired people to think about the Earth in a new way, but also served as a wake-up call to the need to protect and preserve our planet.
The Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was the first mission to successfully land humans on the moon. While the primary focus of this mission was the lunar landing, the astronauts also captured images of the Earth from the lunar surface. These images showed the Earth as a distant and fragile world, suspended in the blackness of space.
The Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 missions continued to bring back images of the Earth from space, each one offering new perspectives and insights into our planet. The Apollo 15 mission was the first to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle, allowing the astronauts to travel much further from the lunar module and capture even more spectacular images of the Earth.
The final Apollo missions, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17, continued to bring back remarkable images of the Earth, further strengthening the connection between space exploration and environmental awareness. These missions were a testament to human ingenuity and determination, and the images they captured of the Earth continue to inspire people to this day.
The Earthrise images captured during the Apollo missions were a defining moment in our understanding of the Earth and our place in the universe. They showed us the beauty and fragility of our planet, and served as a call to action to protect and preserve it. These images remain a powerful reminder of the connection between space exploration and environmental awareness, and continue to inspire future generations to strive for a better and more sustainable world.
Les missions Apollo de 1968 à 1972 ont été un moment déterminant dans l'histoire de l'humanité, car elles ont marqué la première fois que des humains se sont rendus dans un autre corps céleste. Au cours de ces missions, les astronautes ont capturé un certain nombre de photographies époustouflantes de la Terre vue de l'espace, y compris plusieurs célèbres Earthrise. Ces images ont non seulement fourni de nouvelles perspectives sur notre planète, mais ont également joué un rôle dans la prise de conscience environnementale et scientifique.
L'une des images Earthrise les plus célèbres a été capturée lors de la mission Apollo 8 en 1968. Cette photographie montrait la Terre sous la forme d'un orbe bleu et blanc, s'élevant au-dessus du paysage lunaire aride. L'image a été largement reproduite et est devenue un symbole emblématique de l'ère spatiale. Cela a non seulement inspiré les gens à penser à la Terre d'une manière nouvelle, mais a également servi de rappel à la nécessité de protéger et de préserver notre planète.
La mission Apollo 11 en 1969 a été la première mission à faire atterrir avec succès des humains sur la lune. Alors que l'objectif principal de cette mission était l'atterrissage lunaire, les astronautes ont également capturé des images de la Terre depuis la surface lunaire. Ces images montraient la Terre comme un monde lointain et fragile, suspendu dans la noirceur de l'espace.
Les missions Apollo 12 et Apollo 14 ont continué à rapporter des images de la Terre depuis l'espace, chacune offrant de nouvelles perspectives et un aperçu de notre planète.
La mission Apollo 15 a été la première à utiliser le Lunar Roving Vehicle, permettant aux astronautes de voyager beaucoup plus loin du module lunaire et de capturer des images encore plus spectaculaires de la Terre.
Les dernières missions Apollo, Apollo 16 et Apollo 17, ont continué à rapporter des images remarquables de la Terre, renforçant encore le lien entre l'exploration spatiale et la conscience environnementale. Ces missions ont témoigné de l'ingéniosité et de la détermination humaines, et les images qu'elles ont capturées de la Terre continuent d'inspirer les gens à ce jour.
Les images Earthrise capturées lors des missions Apollo ont été un moment déterminant dans notre compréhension de la Terre et de notre place dans l'univers. Ils nous ont montré la beauté et la fragilité de notre planète, et ont servi d'appel à l'action pour la protéger et la préserver. Ces images restent un rappel puissant du lien entre l'exploration spatiale et la sensibilisation à l'environnement, et continuent d'inspirer les générations futures à lutter pour un monde meilleur et plus durable.

Most of Africa, Middle-East and portions of Europe and Asia can be seen in this spectacular photograph taken from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its trans-lunar coast toward the moon. Apollo 11, with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, onboard was already 98,000 nautical miles from Earth when this picture was made. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Collins remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.

Earth rises over the lunar horizon, with the Apollo 16 Command and Services Modules (CSM) to the left of Earth. This photograph was taken from the Lunar Module (LM) "Orion" before the two Apollo 16 spacecraft re-joined following the CSM's failure to make the circularization burn on April 20, 1972. Astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot, was inside the CSM "Casper", while astronauts John W. Young, commander, and Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, were manning the LM. While astronauts Young and Duke descended in the LM to explore the Descartes region of the moon, astronaut Mattingly remained with the CSM in lunar orbit.
