earthrise

As Apollo 8 nosed its way back from the far side of the Moon for the fourth time, the crew got their first view of Earth … Frank Borman took this picture, Christmas Eve, 1968

With all our concerns in these troubled times, this seems an appropriate greeting to our planet and everyone on it!

Merry Christmas!  – And peace and harmony for all creatures great and small, in the New Year…
