Earthrise

The astronauts of the Apollo 10 space mission in May 1969 were the first to see planet Earth from another world. As they orbited the Moon, on their preparatory mission before the Apollo 11 landing, Earth rose above the horizon. Like the Moon, the Earth does not produce its own light. It shines with reflected sunlight. (World of Science)
