The shooting process of the earth.

196865438+On February 24th, 2008, apollo 8 astronauts took a photo of "Walking Out of the Earth", which was the first color photo ever taken from space. It shows a blue sphere hanging on a gray platform. A new 3D video produced by NASA using high-definition photos of the moon shows that this famous photo in the history of science is hardly produced.

At that time, apollo 8 was flying around the moon for the fourth time. It was flying about 68 miles (65,438+009.44 kilometers) above the surface of the moon in a nearly circular orbit at a speed of 65,438+0.665,438+0 kilometers per second. When the astronauts turned the direction of the spaceship, the earth suddenly appeared over the moon.

The crew got excited at once, and an astronaut shouted, "Jim, do you have any color film?" These crew members spent nearly 1 minute crawling to find a camera and took the first photo of the earth, which became the most famous photo in history. The three astronauts were apollo 8's commander Frank Baumann and the crew members William Anders and James Love. In the record used by the bureau to make this 3D video, an astronaut said, "Oh, my God, look at that photo. The earth appeared. Jim, if you have color film, send me one by express. " An astronaut took a picture on the spaceship with a black-and-white Hasselblad camera. After 58 seconds, the film crew found the color camera. "I took it. This is a very beautiful photo. "

The photo Out of the Earth is the cover of the book 100 photos that changed the world, and the wilderness photographer Galen Lowell thinks it is "the most influential environmental photo ever taken". This video was made with the "Moon Map" obtained by NASA's current lunar reconnaissance orbiter, and now viewers can use it to see the pictures seen by astronauts in 1968. When this famous photo was taken, the narration in the video came from the original recording of "apollo 8" astronauts, and their conversation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the earth. Then, an astronaut shouted in surprise: "Oh, my God! Look at that photo. "
