Forty years ago today, Apollo 8 orbited the Moon and beamed to millions on Earth this miraculous shot, one of the first times we had seen our own planet. The crew of Apollo 8 then read from the Book of Genesis, ending with wishing those of us down on the "good earth" a Merry Christmas.And here we are, all too familiar with shots of our planet. Yet every time I see this photo I gasp. What an amazing miracle we live upon.
Have a wonderful holiday.
