NASA. LARGE FORMAT. First crescent of Earth photographed by - Lot 21
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. First crescent of Earth photographed by an Apollo mission launched by a Saturn V. November 1967. Taken during the Apollo 4 mission, this rare photograph shows a delicate crescent of Earth suspended in the vastness of space. As the first Apollo mission powered by the legendary Saturn V, this unmanned flight served to qualify the launch vehicle that would later carry astronauts to the Moon. Captured automatically at an altitude of nearly 190 kilometers, this image combines remarkable visual clarity with major historical significance. A testament to the early successes of the Apollo program, it already foreshadows the extraordinary photographs of Earth that would define future lunar missions and stands as one of the great milestones in space photography. Vintage chromogenic print. Caption on a slip of paper on the back. 40.6 x 40.6 cm.
