"Earthrise" - captured on Dec. 24, 1968 by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders.
Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to orbit the Moon and the first to witness the awe-inspiring sight.
50 years Anders observed - "We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth."
Wilderness photographer Galen Rowell called Earthrise "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken."
