Earth - Apollo 11 - 1969-07-24

Earth from Apollo 11, taken from an altitude of approximately 8,000 km. This scene was taken roughly one hour before reentry (June 24, 1969) as the crew passed over the Indian Ocean en route to splashdown in the central Pacific.

 

This image is a mosaic of three photos taken with the 80 mm Hasselblad lens, with a small hole along the horizon patched with a photo taken roughly one hour earlier. Credit: NASA / Apollo 11 Crew / Project Apollo Archive / Justin Cowart
