Image of vintage TV displaying 1968 "Earthrise" photo, with text below: earthrise poised in lunar trajectory, gaze fixed on the opaque marble, with godlike vanity about viewing ourselves from a distance Scrabblegram (100 tiles) Blanks: TV!

My #Scrabblegram for June celebrates #Earthrise, the first colour photo of #Earth from #space 🌎

#BillAnders captured it in 1968 while orbiting the #moon with the #Apollo8 crew, who also transmitted live TV broadcasts 📺

Anders died last week at age 90 in a solo plane crash 👨‍🚀

NASA Remembers Apollo 8 Astronaut Bill Anders We mourn the passing of Apollo Astronaut William "Bill" Anders at the age of 90. He was backup pilot for the Gemini XI, Apollo 11 flights, and was lunar module pilot for Apollo 8 — the first lunar orbit mission. On Christmas Eve in 1968, Anders turned his camera toward Earth and captured the legendary Earthrise photo.

On the 50th anniversary of the historic #apollo8 mission, I wrote about the significance of humankind’s first venture beyond Earth, and Bill Anders’ #earthrise photo in particular:
