“GEMINI VII EARTH-SKY VIEW -- Full moon and Cirrus clouds as seen from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Gemini VII spacecraft. Taken with a modified 70mm Hasselblad camera, using Eastman Kodak, Ektachrome MS (S.O. 217) color film.
“...EARTH-SKY VIEW” was the ‘go to’ term used by NASA for most all photographs by Astronauts of the earth during the 1960’s.
This photo is just too cool, way more intriguing & evocative than the linked iconic photo below. Thanks to the wonderful photographic emulsion color shifted ‘patina’, it’s got a really alien look to it. Sort of like Triton from Neptune. But that’s just me.
The realistic/accurate view…meh:
